Two ways to look at this game but no one can say that we do not look improved from last year and saw some potential.
Good
Offensive line in the running game
Knox and Jones – when have we seen this type of running attack? For young players they excelled nad made me confident in the future
Receivers look at lot better but we are still missing a game breaker. That kid from Indy that went to Ohio State and has not even sniffed the field would look good in black and gold.
Opportunities for Improvement
No pass rush in second half whatsoever
Middle of the field in the opponent’s pass game – seems to be every year
Expected better play from the secondary based on reading the press clippings but this could be attributable to the two items above
Special teams did not impress at all in any aspect. Kick offs were all short and very returnable
Un –explainable
1st and 20 completion over the middle in the 4Q – where were the safeties???
Playing calling before the missed field goal – ATROCIOUS and I am being generous
Never going to win a game with two pick sixes against. Can’t happen and defeats the purpose of going with the experienced hand
Summary
We are better, no one expected us to compete in this game and without the pick sixes this would be one happy group tonight. I, for one, believe in Hazell and would not be surprised to see 5 wins based on today’s performance and addressing the opportunities for improvement.
Boiler Up!
