This could be a tough year for everyone involved. Ugh.

No missed kicks!
Reese looked pretty darn good! Accurate. Steady in the pocket.
Jensen looked good as well. Nice run. 3-3 passing. Accurate.
However, gave up 450 yards and too many big plays.
Linebackers on receivers worked well for Valpo.
First game. If we continue to improve and evolve, we're going to be ok.
Go Griz!

Supposedly Stitt does not like to punt ... but, at least for this one game, the Griz have a punter that you can't ignore. Not only did he average over 53 yards per kick ... but with the fair catches and a downing, he put Valpo at the 20, 17, 15 and 1 yard line. That folks, is a weapon.grizeyes said:Williams - 53 yard average!

Go Griz!

Oh, and I was at the Tech/EWU game and they did NOT look good....like most play up games it was close for a while but Tech methodically dominated from the get go.
As far as the Griz go, do people think we will be better or worse when Strong and Strahm get back? When your two starting safeties are Epperley and Delaney things are NOT going to go well. But I'd worry more about finding anybody to play behind Calhoun because Lee doesn't appear to be he guy.

Hey you have to be able to accept the inevitable when you see it without letting emotion get in the way.
I remember when my kid started playing tee ball when he was 4, he was more interested in playing in the dirt than watching the batters...I knew right there his sports career was over. I left, no idea how he got home now that I think about it.
I heard he won a state title in something later on, probably should have went to that, but if they don't win every time what's the point?

Did Lee do that bad?

Wow, we got some things to fix
Middling? You do understand that just because they dont have scholarships that they suck. USD beat CalPoly last year in the playoffs. Many Pioneer "insiders" believe that Valpo is going to surprise in their league this year - I would bet that that is obvious the case.
You do realize that Valpo was picked to finish 10th in the Pioneer.

on the flip side, if you use the logic of many analyses of the game, bw's, for instance, you can 'take away' those four tds in six plays, and start from there. oi.

There are 11 teams in the Pioneer. If anyone still really thinks that Valpo finishes 10th or 11th this year, I, too, am more than willing to put serious $ that they finish 9th or higher. Perennial power San Diego barely beat Western NM today. Valpo has 40! freshman and only 9 seniors, and that's why they got picked low, but I think their Frosh Qb (who vastly out-played their soph qb) playing his first college game ever looked pretty darn good considering. They are not great, but they have some potential. Griffin Norberg #2 is a solid WR too.

Yep. But at the end of the day, we beat them by 22. I wonder how much would have been enough for some of the shitstain complainers on this board? 30? 40? 50?
