I know he has all the preseason accolades.  I know he'll be playing on Sundays next year, but outside of a few plays (ie:  his pancake block on PTG's long TD run), he was less than impressive.   We seemed to run left a lot, including when we were stuffed repeatedly in OT.  I know he's WAY down the list of issues coming out of this game, but his performance certainly was nothing special at all tonight.

I hope the OLine plays harder next game.   It'll be interesting to see who has the guts to dig deep and come out ready to go next game.   We looked unprepared for this game...and as others have said, Joe Adam needs to do a better job of coaching these guys up-- if he's capable.   Thats a big IF.

One final note:  Lasker was the wrong guy to be playing this stupid East/ West scheme.  He has zero lateral quickness.  Why weren't we pounding the ball straight ahead against a team with smaller athletes????  Playing like we did allowed Villanova's smaller athletes to run and swarm to the ball and play in space, something they were more than happy to do.  McDonald's game plan and lack of adjustments: disturbing at best.
