Positives:
Defense - Tremendous in every aspect, can't wait to see how they perform against top level competition
WRs - Man we have upgraded at that position for sure over the last couple of years
Stadium Expansion - What a difference and really unites the crowd
Atmosphere - Great to see fans stick around in the monsoon for the game and be into it
Josh Robinson - Very difficult to get a hold of him and bring him to the ground
Dak - Really good start of the season for what could be our best QB ever, the only real mistake was the INT in the end zone where the ball should have never been thrown or should have been high enough that only our guy had a shot, threw it right to the USM defender
Special Teams - played well except for the FG unit (what a shocker) and even scored a TD on the blocked FG
Student Section - Great job by those guys
Negatives:
1st Q Red Zone offense - Can't play a good team and have 2 shots inside the 5 that don't come away with points, very frustrating
OL - Didn't play bad but not being able to clear out a path on 4 tries from the USM 4 yard line against that defense is not acceptable and we were allowing WAY too much pressure on our QBs
FG team - I know, I know, bad snap but it's ALWAYS something with that unit, totally undependable
Griffin runs hard and I love the guy but certainly doesn't look like he has the acceleration he did before the injuries
Williams - Looked very shaky for the first few series he was in and fumbled the ball to give USM their only scoring chance, hope he gets it together because right now it look like a significant dropoff from Dak to Damien
Still no recognition of our championship teams in the expansion that I saw, WHY?
Newly slick painted ramps (at least on the East side) that get wet from rainstorms are a lawsuit waiting to happen, I had to be VERY careful in my tennis shoes walking up and down but I could certainly see an older person slipping down and breaking a hip. The paint looks nice but no traction now, needs tread strips or something.
Apart from the deluge of rain just a great day to be a Bulldog!!
