    Default Game thoughts...

    Defense was great again. Due to some horrible offense in the 1st quarter they were on the field way too much. We lost the TOP by 15 minutes.

    Special teams were outstanding, except for the missed field goal.

    Offense started out slow but finished strong against a good defense. The offensive stats? I don't put much stock into them because we were working with a great short field due to great returns from Ryan Smith, phenomenal punting, ridiculous penalties on Morgan State, and a short field on a pick.

    I was very excited about Jensen. Early on he struggled but that is to be expected since it was his first game and was probably shocked to be playing. But once he settled in, he looked great! He was decisive whether to run or pass. He's got a rocket. Great running threat. But more importantly, he is better at throwing downfield. He didn't take many hits because he got rid of the ball quickly. Give this kid some time to prepare and he could be very good.

    Running game? Weak in the fist half. Can't give all the blame to the o line. Not impressed with Vigens calls and DJ seemed to dance too much. Really picked it up in the 2nd half. A few of his runs were tremendous.

    All i have to say is this.

    I hope that this was exactly the oil in the machine our team needed.

    At the end of the game we looked like a whole new animal.

    I hope we can build on this in practice and take the yotes to the woodshed.

    Where is Voit? Beginning the season Craiger said we would go two deep at RB... DJ and Voit... very few others would see carries. Voit is non-existent... Sigers is now our #2. What happened?

    I don't think DJ is the answer to the tailback position. We need somebody the other team has to respect. DJ just doesnt seem to hit the hole hard enough. I just don't think he's it though.

    Well, offensively we have one good qtr. under our belt. Lets hope the push the O line was getting in the 4th qtr. is a sign of good things to come. I am thinking we may have to be a throw to set up the run kind of team?

    THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS

    It opened up for him in the 2nd half but I think it was because the passing game was better.

    DJ dropped passes, dances too much, got stripped of the ball and doesn't hit the hole. Were was Voit? Wish the coaches would give him a chance.

    Morgan had 9-10 in the box at times......passing game needs to be there for us to win.

    We thought the 1st half stunk except for the last 1:22 when we got the TD on the fade to Holloway... The second half started slow but Jensen got comfy and then our O took off which was great to see, best offensive half in quite some time (2 yrs?).

    How is Mohler's health? Saw him on the big screen and it didnt look good... Yes maybe more reps for Voit at RB would help in the early part of the game too... The D was good again- great job BISON!!!!
    Let's Go Bison!!!
