A few thoughts after I re-watched it today, I don't feel near as bad about it actually.
When we scored the two TD's we had two red shirt freshmen, a red shirt sophomore and two red shirt juniors out there on the o line. That is just a lot to overcome and you had two NFL guys Hicks and KO on the sideline. If we have to go with that group against Iowa we have no chance.
Whoever the hell 43 is for UNI was unblock able, why the hell isn't he playing here? I don't care how small he is, he owned us all night.
Thought on defense Jake McD did some good things. Willie Scott also.
John Neal did a good job considering he was out of postion, he is a hell of a football player and will be missed.
Thought the secondary did a good job for the most part although it was hard to tell on Clone Zone. Jeremy Reeves really does a good job and LJ looked like he really played well.
Josh Lentz does not get enough credit, we need more guys like that. Can't have enough of em. Almost single handily won the game for us.
Lentz is a really good receiver, Horne seems like he will help, but we have GOT to start making some plays out there, so many dropped balls, alligator arms. We need help at receiver.
I like Steele, I think he can be a good one, he pulls it down too early sometimes and is a little scared to stay in the pocket, but he was getting killed out there so hard to make any judgement on that. I like him and thought he did a good job, good to get game one out of the way.
