[Big Brown]

I agree it was a sloppy game, but it was the first game so you understand some of that. Fletcher looked great! Both Ellis and Smiddy did well at Qb! Both had big runs and Smiddy's first play was a bomb for a touchdown. The defense settled down and only gave up points after turnovers on very short fields. Short didn't do bad on extra points and he had a whale of a game on defense. The line played ok especially considering we were down two starters. Overall I would give us a B- for the game, but it is nice to get a 40 point win and still come away with things to work on knowing you didn't play your best.

Preacher I agree with your rating. Both Fletcher and Ellis looked GREAT!! I was proud of Smiddy (my nephew). He did well considering, Im sure he was nervous going into his first game as a Mighty Laker. His first pass was well thrown and the reciever did a great job catching and getting down the feild. I was very proud!! I am thankful he is now being coached by such a Great Coaching Staff. Im looking forward to seeing this team do we.
