My thoughts from the game...
First, the USA mascot that had the "Bell No, with Fail State" on it was pretty pathetic. Also, how USA didn't have the stadium properly staffed for a game where it was sold out, is beyond me.
The good:
Dak - I mean saying it once isn't enough. He carried this team to a win. I thought a lot of the team came out flat, and Dak had to carry this team to a win. He converted so many 3rd downs with his feet that USA fans around me were just accepting that we were getting it on any type of 3rd and 6 or less. Nice feeling.
JRob - He is just a great RB. Love his speed and power. I really think we may want to enjoy him this year, because he is going to have an NFL draft type season. Just a great player.
Matthew Wells - he was the best defensive player on the field last night. Just everywhere.
Run defense - Dominant. Nuff said.
The Bad:
Secondary - Been said before, but it was pretty bad. USA missed so many opportunities, that good teams won't miss. We need to get it together.
Front Four pressure - I didn't think we got much pressure without blitzing, and thought we should get more.
Receivers - We were blanketed most of the game. Very little separation
Relying too much on Dak - I know this is our offense, but I wish we would have been able to run him a lot less in the game. He took some monster hits that I would rather he just avoid.
Overall:
3-0 - Season starts on Saturday.
