How 'bout that Warren Holloway? He is turning into quite the player. I have NEVER seen a Bison WR create that much separation consistently on the long bombs. Truly underutilized was the deep throw to the big W today. The guy was open on practically every down, and when Jensen threw to him and he wasn't even open, somehow he came down with the ball. Jensen seems to be throwing it right where it needs to be as well, now if we can get the short yardage passing game going we will be in good shape. Do we have any other wide receiver that can even catch the ball or that is worth even looking at to consider throwing it to? Right now I would have to say a resounding NO! The deep ball to the other WR should have been caught plain and simple. He lead with his hands completely telegraphing to the CB what was going to happen. Outside of Holloway, the guys really need to step it up in a big way because they are getting schooled consistently by every secondary we face.
Other thoughts:
-DJ had a pretty quiet 104 yards rushing and a nice run after the catch completion of 21 yards. I think we'll keep him ;)
-Jensen is noticeably improving game to game. IMO big improvement even over last week, he just didn't have anyone worth throwing to. I pray Gebhard and Vraa will change that next year because certainly no one else on the roster is going to claim that other WR spot. We need to get his completion % up higher, but that all starts with getting some worthy WR's on the field.
- Lots of season left, and I will say this: THANK GOD WARREN HOLLOWAY is only a Junior. The guy is the only thing we have to keep any team from stacking 10 in the box.
-I'm not going to mention much about the defense because I think they forgot that if you catch an opponents ball before it hits the ground, your team may then gain possession. Matt Barr simply wasn't very good at all, yet someone threw for plenty of yards and no turnovers.
Next year's team is obviously going to be very good, I just hate even mentioning this morsel of a fact not even half way through the current football season.
