Take a drink every time they say "new South End Zone".

The endzone club is ******* awesome, the verdict is still out in the product on the field, but at least I can keep a nice buzz going all game.

Defense has looked really good, except for that atrocious TD drive. Outside of that, we are getting burned on QB scrambles, which is something that we haven't been able to adjust to for years.

Offense looks terrible though, despite the fact that the line looks way better and the RBs and WRs are looking good. Obviously that leaves one element of the offense that has looked really bad.

Special teams have been excellent, except for FG kicking, which is just an early season anomaly, I believe.

Well let's just hope Mangino can channel his inner KU transformation days to the field this half

UNI best offensive play is the QB scramble. Like how the D is playing.

No question that that has been their main weapon that has worked. Outside of that, our defense is looking great. Hopefully Wally will make the halftime adjustments to bottle that crap up! If only Mangino could do the same, but unfortunately he's got a LOT more to address.

New end zone = amazing. On TV it looks like we play somewhere completely different. Somewhere where the team wins a lot of football games.

The shot where you see nothing but a field and probably 45K of the 61.5K seats...it's as big time as we need it to be. Totally can see how it's 3rd biggest in the conference.

Defense playing much better than I'd have guessed except for that one horrible series. Offense obviously another story.

The QB that is 11/14 w/ a 7 yard avg?

The OL is the biggest positional issue (sans one run our rushing attack sucks again), but the real problem is a systemic one. He missed a couple, but SR is doing what our offense tries to do.
