how does passing look? from the stats, serving looks pretty good.

Great team win to start the season. I'm looking what Texas is doing with Fields and Parra. Texas just needs to get Butler going early on.

Not Butler's night. Blocking was off, hitting straight into USD's blocks
About 40%(?) of the audience voluntarily masked during game, including myself
CDC in attendance, unmasked
Deandra Pierce suited up with team. No SKT sightings
Finally, a team with more service errors than Texas!
Texas really worked on going all out for digs this season. Sniff...reminds me of the championship year
I guess Jerritt greenlighting letting players rip their preferred serves. No lollypopping like last year
First time I've ever seen Cobello sub in for Jhenna and make it all the way to set win. She did have one block!
The stats say Texas outblocked USD, but really they were behind almost the entire way. I mean, they must be rusty but so is team on the other side of the net!
Parra as a DS? Interesting, but why not let her have back row attack then?
I look up and suddenly Skylar has the most kills for the match
For a while, Molly was in the groove
USD was TALL

I felt like this was the first time in the 22 years I’ve been going the serves on opening night looked pretty solid - good even, and SR was strong also, and absolutely loved the 3-4 times the sets were coming far away and out of system and Eggleston / Fields took big strong confident swings; might all be because they were competing just a few months ago.

"We Are Texas" ... Ok, but I thought Penn State was the only one who could use "We Are".

Pretty much agree with what hornfanaustin said above. Hope Bri was just having a slow start, need her to be better at hitting and blocking by Minnesota next week. Did notice that she and Jhenna were running the middle in front much faster than last season. Thought serving looked pretty good but that probably is also a product of USD being bad at ball control. Logan made a couple two many service errors. Feel like Nalani at libero has great instincts and stuff but felt like she was having trouble controlling herself/the ball sometimes, but she'll probably settle in as the season goes on. Have to remind myself this is the first match of the year.

I was hoping to see Molly improve with her OOS hitting on the right pin. Unfortunately, unless she has a perfect set, she won't be terminating the ball.
As the season progresses, I'd also like to see them diversify the offense more like having Parra attack from the back row, O'Neal hitting in front of the setter, and Bri running the slide.
I'm assuming since Saige is not listed on the roster yet nor found on the sidelines, she will be red-shirting this season. It'd be nice to see Cabello set more instead of just subbing in as blocker and then coming back out when the team has sided-out.

I think since Saige only graduated from Utah this summer, there's probably some issue with paperwork and stuff for the transfer. Wouldn't be surprised to see her be on the roster in the coming weeks.

Seems like they'd be busy with other things these days ...
