Making The Grade: Assessing The Performances Of New Faces In New Places
Kendrick Marshall
The first week of the college football season was also the first game action for the four new head coaches who took over SWAC programs this past offseason.
There were some impressive performances, a little bit of a mix bag, and outcomes that should be a cause for concern. Realistically, we won’t be able to fully assess these coaches until later in the season. But it does not hurt to judge the first game sample size either.
Rick Comegy: C
Mississippi Valley State on paper was seemingly more talented than a University of Faith outfit that was routed by Edward Waters the previous week, but offensive struggles in the first half kept the Glory Eagles in the game before MVSU was able to pull away late in the second half. The defense played great as they had over the last few years under Karl Morgan. The offense, though, was conservative to say the least. Maybe the weather had something do with the limited offense production. It was not what some had gotten accustomed to witnessing from a Comegy-coached team.
