Definitely need to clean a few things up, and definitely missed some opportunities, but there was A LOT of good to take from this game:
GOOD:
- offense looked about as good as I've seen in a while
- brady was on fire. At halftime he was 31-34 for like 290. Ended the game 47-59 for 418 and 2 TDs (79%)
- JLM for president. I don't know if I've seen such an electric and exciting playmaker other than Kupp
- Calhoun had 63 yards on only 11 carries
- his twin is stepping up in his receiver role as well
- got to see what Homan can do. Laid out two with an awesome block and made a huge third down catch
- 3 for 3 on 4th down conversions
- consistently moved the chains, 25 first downs and a a 30 minute time of possession
- only gave up 274 rushing yards to a team that averages 390
BAD:
- short field turnovers that gifted CP points
- the inability to seal the edge and CP exploited it big time
- refs not taking a second look at that CP TD in the front corner (saw some pics that showed he was out)
UGLY:
- letting Graves throw 3 TDs out of 6 fricking passes
- going conservative on last drive after Nyguen got us downfield and settling for a 48 yard FG attempt
- the 48 yard FG attempt
There's plenty of good things to see in this team. If they can clean a bit of this stuff up, this is a dangerous team who can play with anyone in my opinion. I am hoping for a great response with SUU next Saturday. Go Griz!
