Both offensive lines were a little sloppy and out of sync. That's to be expected this early in the season. Russell's defensive line and linebackers played very well, especially considering that Evan Ison didn't play, forcing Grant Bates into a starting role. He looked pretty good and had his first career int.

This was certainly not the most aesthetically pleasing game to watch, but Russell got the job done. I would always rather go home underwhelmed by a win than disappointed with a loss. I learned a long time ago not to overreact to the first game.
