TD had a bad day passing.  
No worries, this was his first start.  
We have seen what he can do.  
The team is behind him.  
He never lost his team.
He remained in control of the offense.
He made several crisp, clean passes.
Several passes were dropped (not TD's responsibility)
He is not the shake and bake runner ED is, but he is fast.
TD knows to slide and protect the passer, while ED was aggressive it opened himself to injury at a thin depth position (before TD).
TD got the W.
TD ran the offense very good, not great, but very good.  This is a fast paced offense that is not easy to run but much harder to defend.  TD did his part and will improve.

There are negatives to address this week in practice, and HCDB has a history of correcting mistakes in players.  I am not concerned.  The team had no film on the Flames under Freeze, yet they made adjustments and walked away with a W and a shutout.

Getting upset with a player because he didn't rack up enough yards in the air or enough passing TDs is not beneficial to a team nor a fanbase.  Part of HCDB's game plan is to take what an opponent gives you and make it work.  TD did that.  Wearing down a opponent and running the ball is a strategy and the Flames failed to stop the Orange.  A W is a W, enjoy it.  Everyone will be working towards Maryland and deflating their hyped offense against a very underwhelming opponent.
