Great effort, best part is now some excitement for remaining games as saw some development from coaches and players and hope they continue to grow. Most encouraging on offense as defense has more or less done their job this season.
Nice to see a 21st century game plan as we have lot of play makers so nice to see us have plan where QB gets ball out quick and let our receivers win one on one battles. Just wish once we tied we played to win instead of going back into a shell as we had them on the ropes. Chandler got ball out quick especially when they blitzed for the most part and made some nice sideline throws. Think he is more comfortable with that type of game plan because once we started to play more conservative when game was tied he got happy feet.
Between Johnson and Newsome the future is bright at the running back position, Newsome I expected but Johnson is nice surprise with blend of toughness, instinct and speed, looks like the real deal.
Thomas, Lucas and Bradley look like they are elevating their game and less worried about the future of the position than was few weeks ago.
The line played very well in pass protection and looked most physical and focused have seen them whole year. Nice development but need to see them string few more games like this as ECU was nice match up for the line in passing game , as similar to what they see in practice every day as oversized run stuffing D linemen and do not bring in lot of extra guys, that being said they showed some promise.
Except for parts of Boise game, first game all year felt that we played to our ability. Hopefully we can keep building and use this game as a springboard to a strong finish to the season.
