Despite dropping the season opener to Kentucky, many off- season questions have been answered and the Golden Eagles look to put together a competitive team again.
Starter Keon Howard’s play in the first half was like that of last season, as he looked panicked at times and over-thought plays. He proved to be effective when running the ball and found his way with the deep ball. However, the short passes often missed the mark, and he struggled holding drives together as he finished 7-of-14 with 87 yards.
Kwadra Griggs stepped in for the second half and found some instant success throwing 15-of-26 for 222 yards and two touchdowns.
