I feel OK with last night.
-Aside from the Indiana game we blew, this has to be the most points we’ve scored against and only time we beat the spread against a P4 program under this staff.
-We would seem to have multiple competent options at QB..who are only going to get better with more experience. CB is a great running threat, seems to be able to throw the ball accurately, and make smart decisions. Roggow was obviously great in his limited time. Poffenbarger who?
- I don’t know where everyone stands from an injury standpoint, but I think it’s encouraging that a lot of young/new players seem to be getting snaps over players who have played in the past. To me that means we should be better and the staff does a good job developing the players who stay long enough to be developed.
- Freshman (either true or redshirt) that I saw receiving significant playing time last night: CB, Luke Sivon, Tairan Davis, Daunte Curtis, Nate Hampton, Jonathan Gould, Vann Kavals. None stuck out to me as not holding their own.
-Aside from CB taking himself out (hopefully nothing serious there), only other injuries I saw were cramps. Still seem healthy.
- my biggest general concern is the defense after last night. DL didn’t get any pressure, but Durham was out and I think we know we have solid guys there. JoeMo raved about the DL in the pregame show. LB rotation should sort itself out pretty quickly. Both Donelius Johnson and Daunte Curtis look like they can be good players in that group. For the DBs, we know Catrell White, Flowers, the Branches, and Terence Thomas can perform in the MAC.
-I didn’t see Omari Bivens get any playing time.
