- No one can question the heart of this team, particularly the Defense battling back against a bigger, stronger OL. They kept us in the game for most of the game through a pick 6, blocked punt, and very few 1st downs, much less points from the offense.
- Feel horrible for Garrett Williams. Really wanted to see him have a healthy year
- Jahad making another play
- Was also proud of the offense battling back and coming close to tying a game that looked like we had no business being in
- Hope Shrader's okay, but agree with others that DRW should start until Shrader's close to 100 percent. I can see a few INT's in there, but also some TD's.
- Thought Tucker played well. He made the most of what he was given
- Thought the OL struggled some against a very good DL, but did enough to get us back in the game. We need to figure out why we're getting so many passes tipped recently
- Though Adams looked very good and Hatcher had some really nice moments, as well. Alford got his usual 1 catch. Liked seeing Wilson spread it around a little. Not gonna lie, the first thing I thought when I head he was starting the 2nd half was it would have been nice to get him more than 1 pass against Wagner. Don't know if it would've made a difference in this game.
- Obviously the tipped pass for an INT was the turning point of the game, but giving the ND receiver the huge cushion to allow them to easily complete a 3rd and 6 on the drive following the tip kept up from regaining the momentum
- Surprised Gadsden dropped 3 passes. Wonder if it's an adjustment getting used to Wilson's stronger throws.
- Don't think Jackson is going to do anything on the outside. Let's give him Cooper's reps in the slot. Thought Pena maximized what he had at Wr
- Have been a little disappointed in Special teams the last few games. Besides the block punt, the coverage has been very iffy of late. Great kick by Szmyt
- Would love to see us block a punt in a game that really made a difference. It seems the only ones we've blocked in recent years were in blowouts
- A positive was we had very few penalties this game
- Everyone is going to try to run it down our throats from here on out. The good news is we did a little better with it in the 2nd half and we're not going to face an OL like ND again. Need to focus on stopping the run from the start against Pitt and hope our DB's hold up. That's how they'll be playing us. We can do this!
