I said that we need some guys to emerge as ballers, and I think Moe Neal is working hard to be one of those guys.  He had some very big, timely plays yesterday.

I thought that Alton Robinson asserted himself against a pretty good opponent after a couple sub-par outings when he allowed himself to be game-planned out of the game.  Lakeim Williams made a lot of plays at LB.

Tommy had his best game, by far, and didn't wilt when Western Michigan came back to make it close in the third quarter.  That was big.  He made plays when it mattered.

Young Mr. Hackett brought a new dimension to tight end.  The O line still needs to be a lot better.

Overall, that was a promising effort.  Things are getting better.  I'd like to see us crush Holy Cross so that lots of young guys get at least a quarter of game time, to help build some depth.

NC State is the key game of the season.  It's a must-win, following that loss to Maryland, if we want to have a "good" year - meaning around 8 wins and a quality bowl game.  Lose to NC State, and suddenly we are counting games to be bowl eligible.  The bye week sets up to give us a good chance to game plan and get healthy.  Let's see what the coaches come up with.
