Pretty sparse crowd. Ta’amu looks great.

Lot of good running games this weekend, Haley might have another with Emmons/Washington. Emmons went all MJ against the Hawks in the preseason (before doing the roster dance with the Raiders anyway) and Washington was a big play guy at SDSU--especially the year he, Donnel Pumphrey, and Rashaad Penny were all together. Look out.

Hard not be a critic of cutting Smith, even before "pizzagate"

Should have been scheduled for Sat/Sun/Mon from the beginning, a tripleheader on Easter Sunday was going to be just too much

Worst case scenario for Wilson: Groshek was more a short yardage/secondary back at Wisconsin, so running him three straight isn't really a great call.

Wow, six straight runs, and two on third and 5 or more?

Where's BengalErnst (the guy that wanted the XFL to fire Winston Moss), someone wanna bring him out of mothballs?

JT - Looked good opening drive. Likely Best QB and offensive NFL HC

Pitt needs to get some rhythm on O.

Is Wilson trying to prove something like he's hearing the reax to cutting Smith?

If so neither guy looks like much of a "quieter" thus far
