I just wanna throw in a few topics of conversation/things that i noticed during the game yesterday
1. Ryan Nassib is really doing some nice things... that first drive he put up really showed me that not only was he not effected by the crowd, but that he is a confident player and leader.
2. Bailey- I love Bailey, but he really does look a bit udnersized at times to shoulder the load as a inbetween the tackles runner. This game truly showed that he is most effective when he is moved around and used sorta like a Sproles. I think in games where its gonna be won in the trenches ie. Rutgers, we are gonna need a bigger back to step up and get positve yards.
3. I think the O-line did a real nice job against a very athletic front for USC... i think they build on this and live up to their preseason hype.
4. Provo- I gotta be honest, i was never sold on Nick being one of the crown jewels of the offense. He's not a game changing TE, and i think in the future, a great pickup would be a big Athletic TE that can make people miss and get down the field.
5. Secondary- Yikes, the secondary at times reminds me of the GROB group where you know if the ball is thrown downfield, not only will it get caught, but theres a good chance nobody is 10 yards from the nearest reciever. We gotta get this fixed quick, or were gonna get picked apart all yaer.
6. Last years defense really spoiled us. We were a unique gung ho blitzing team and always looked like we rattled the qb. I just dont see the pressure form the LB's getting there this year... i know they're young and talented so i expect it to take some time
7. Goggins- at times Deion looks like a man amongst boys, hes got a great motor and if he didnt ding his shoulder early, he would haev been in the backfield a bunch more... he's living up to the hype
8. Marinovich- good speed and size, but he needs a few more moves coming off the edge, its too predictable
Overall- while we lost, it was an honorable showing by the orange. The odds were stacked up high and there were some definite diffefences in talent. I like this team moving forward, but we gotta get that secondary fixed or we could be in some track meets. On an aside, i think this move to the ACC is just amazing, i cant wait to see the games and venues that we play in , and this will no doubt help the football team moving forward. Marrrones recruiting pitch just got a little bit better, and hopefully we start getting some of those USC type athletes that can change a game.. oh by the way, Alec Lemon played great... the dropped killed, but he showed up, nice job
