Extended highlights for anyone who wasn't able to catch the pay per view:



Obviously, Martinez was the story. Yeah it was a ****ty WKU defense, but he showed a knack for breaking big plays, and didn't seem phased at any point. Might want a couple passes back (especially in the 2 minute drill at the end of the 1st half), but he looked like a solid passer most the time. He's going to have some struggles against the Texas' of the world...but so would any QB on our roster. He looks and sounds like he doesn't get rattled by much. I'd be awesome if he is the real deal and we can look forward to having the same QB for 4 years. We shall see.

Bo ripped the defense after the game, and probably deservedly. They were fine in the 1st half, but they got run over in the 2nd. It's only week 1, but it seems obvious that we will miss Suh in the middle a lot. Losing our starting LBs won't help either. We should still be a good defense, but all this talk that we could be even better despite losing the best defensive player in school history is looking pretty silly. I'm still confident they'll be intimidating in a month or so, but it looks like the offense should plan on scoring more than 10 points a game this year.

Upgraded offense, downgraded defense in week 1. Not sure where that leaves us, but I'm excited to see what strides they make against Idaho...and of course the next week at Washington.
