Nothing to mention. Get on to next week.
When was the last shutout? Its been a while. Recent teams would have won tonight like 35-10 or 35-14. This was a big win. Good teams do this to FCS teams. I think we are a good team.
We have no pass rush and are vulnerable to the run. While better, by a lot, we aren't good. Improved. Yes. Of course, I don't see one great team in the country. All have holes. Lots of them.
We're a bend but don't break defense and don't have any elite pass rushers now that Whitson is out.Quote:

Honestly not a bad idea with our personnel especially given the fact that our secondary is pretty solid. But we're not going to get a ton of sacks with this group and gameplan.
It was about as clean a win against a FCS team that I can remember. If we had those ten minutes back we score at least 70 and they might get a TD or field goal but I'm feeling generous tonight. Good chance we still shut them out.Quote:

The run defense is what scares me on our quest for 6 wins.Quote:

There are going to be games where we have to put score some teams to win- like Tennessee and Texas A&M. Essentially what we did against Arizona State.Quote:

Yep, this was pointed out in our group at the game, although at game's end we held them to under 100 yards in both passing and rushing. The lack of a pass rush in all games thus far, especially after the loss of Whitson is very concerning. Need someone to step up, maybe Burroughs?Quote:

Mississippi and Arkansas combined for 1 sack yesterday. They gave up a combined 1000 yards.
We are not in an era of statue QBs. We need to just worry about not giving up 300 yards in the air and 300 yards on the ground. I’m curious how we do against Lagway, Green and Manning with a competent defense.
