Maulers offence needs to regroup at the half.

I don't get it with London. He was average at MSU and in TSL, a bit better at UT, but ran all over the place in the ELF. I get ELF isn't great, especially since you can only have a handful of American players, but is it lower quality than the FXFL?

Yes

Tyler Rausa kicking it straight.

He is everything in the first half.

And just remember, Fisher passed up JT for Shea Patterson, a UM guy yes but only for two years and wasn't particularly well-liked by the base anyway.

That sort of calls into question how legitimate that round of the draft really was. Was Patterson assigned to Michigan for marketing reasons?

Regardless, he looked pretty great, imo. Don’t think Panther fans are too upset.

Um, 92 yards? Eesh

TB's only doubling them but you kind of get the feeling Haley's just wasting some plays to see what happens, setting it up for later in the game, which given yesterday is a good idea should the Maulers find some offense.

The Bandits' last five running plays have gone for -5 yards. OL not holding up?

This is first game. Its hard to extrapolate positive or negative - we've seen the 2nd halves play out diff in some games already.

Let's see what Pitt can do.
