    I must eat a little crow about Will Rogers

    He played exceptionally well and handled a lot of pressure tonight in the loudest stadium. Hat's off to Will Rogers. Great win and a great football day altogether!

    At least you can admit it. Always a good first step. Everyone ripping on this kid needs to open their eyes.

    He played really well tonight! He finally started pushing the ball downfield and not checking down every play. His timing tonight was way better than what it had been.

    Just keep taking steps forward. That is one of the best defenses we will see all year. They were ranked #4 against the pass and top 10 against the run and we hunt 27 on them…

    Excellent win all around…

    Anyone who can?t see Will played great tonight has an agenda. Leach called a great game and Will played great. I am starting to believe this can work if ran correctly

    Gene Chizik coached against Leach as DC of Texas. He said the Air Raid works on any defense whether you drop 8, drop 7, or drop 6. It's up to the QB to find the space his guy has occupied. When it's clicking on all cylinders it's tough to stop.

    Will is quickly figuring it out now. He's moving at the speed of the game now. He sees the his guys open and isn't hesitating like he used to. Big time performance tonight.

    Probably the cleanest game all around this season.

    If 2 plays this well the first 4 games, we are 5-0. I'm glad to see him making improvements. He finally saw the open receivers down field that he had been missing.

    Chiziks right. Of course any offense or any defense can work against any scheme if executed properly. That's why I've never bought into the "this is all you have to do to stop this offense" stuff. Everything is about execution.

    Qbr and passer rating now 6th in sec. Amazing how the offense looks much better as those stats improve, right? Yds/att up a full yard from last year.

    Will has made good progress. Still not sold he's the qb next season, but the improvement is real. Good job, will

    Anytime a player is moving in the right direction and you win it's hard to replace. Will is growing up. I hope he stays healthy.

    He's your QB! Get use to it! He's getting better and will be fine!

    You may consider buying. Will's not giving up his spot without a tough fight.
