Testifying
Well, given the situation, down three is pretty good. Not sure there’s an adjustment for what we’re working with on D, especially when Cam Ward can make something out of nothing. I guess we just need to throw a few surprise calls and hope to get a couple more turnovers.
He's been throwing some darts. I'm hoping one is a hard throw off of some U hands and into ours.

I mean, hard to blame him for the amount of injuries we've had.

Plus there have been countless times players have been put in position to make the play and just didn't execute it.
Yeah, got to be realistic. ISU has been playing multiple guys that are not P4 players yet. They might get there, but they aren’t yet.

Playing backups is one thing. Playing guys that are probably a couple years of development away from being P4 level players is not something you can really coach around.

Even the halftime interview of Cristobal was one question.....Cam Ward.
At least Booger cleared it Up: "It's all Cam Ward." Then, the stats for each QB show it is a dead-heat. That being said, Cam Ward is really, really good. The fact that Rocco's stats are similar is really, really encouraging for this game and the future.

Somehow seemed longer.

Not really complaining in a general sense, but we're having a delayed family Xmas function so I was hoping to see more of the game, because I doubt I'll be able to watch much of 2nd half.

Well, you did get to see an entire games worth of scoring. It was like watching an entire game. ;)
