Some positives at half time

[ChiTownLion]

• Brandon Polk adds a new dimension on offense.
• Brandon Bell keeps getting better.
• Carl "Massive" Nassib is living up to the pre-season hype.
• Koa Farmer and Mark Allen look good and decisive in the return game.
• "Big Toe" Joe "Orange" Julius hasn't been a liability at PK.

It looks like the punting improved some as well

You must be new. Optimism is frowned upon here.

Agreed. Pasquarello looks enormously more comfortable than he did last year. Had a couple long and coverable punts and dropped one on the 7 yard line (which obviously threw the defense off).

Maybe because it's a bad Temple team and the score is 10-7. Why be optimistic?

Honestly I thought the O-line looked like they are able to generate a much better push up front with the running game, but things turned south after a few slow developing pass plays on first down (which I understand is when you'd want to try for a big hitter, but not with an inexperienced o-line and when Temple is consistently rushing more guys than you have to block) The play-calling on first and 2nd and medium distanced downs needs to change to be able to avoid the consistent 3rd and longs we are seeing leading to sacks.
