Any shining points of light going into this week's game?

I didn't see the whole game, as I don't have cable TV, but looking at the stats it occurs to me that there were a few positives to come out of the opening game:
1. The running game: Mike Gillislee averaged 6.2 yards per carry for 148 yards. Overall, the Gators rushed for 220 yards. Not too bad, even against what should have been a season-opening patsy.
2. A named starter at QB: Jeff Driskel's stats were pretty anemic (10/16, 1 TD, 0 INT, 24 yards rushing), but at least he didn't throw any picks and he has slightly more mobility than Brissett.
3. Caleb Sturgis is still a pretty good kicker. Despite missing that last field goal, we can usually count on him for some points.
Anyone care to add some more?
