Better enthusiasm by some of the players. Bailey and Abrams ran hard. Still need to work on cutting back and hitting the hole hard some. Line play was a little better. East kept nine in the box the entire game.

The passing game needs some work. Some poor decisions made there. Bright spots made there were some outstanding catches. Notably the grab by Abrams and the wheel route for the TD by Bailey. I would still like to see some screens and swings out of the backfield and If the DBs are going to play 15 yards off on Mitchell, just stand up and throw it to him.

The defense played a little better. More attitude definitely. Need to play smarter though. Sometimes it is better to just bat down the pass. East never should have scored. That was a bounce reminicent of UK/Middle Tennessee.

This team still doesn't seem to play hard all the way through. I know it was East Carter but sustained effort will be needed. Also the silly penalties. Those are killers.
