Things you noticed during the first game

[Gully]

No jet sweep?
Carson's rocket arm.

[Ndsu84]

All of the above, awesome things!

Only thing I was disappointed in was the penalties. The Bison had lots of yards taken away from penalties. On the returns and Crockett's run. Crockett actually had over 200 yards.??

Crocket blowing a kiss to the ISU cheerleaders after his 80 yd TD run.

Saw that on the replay. Man, I like that kid!

edit: just watched it back. That blonde girl was smiling at him quite a bit!

Iowa State Defensive front was absolutely awful....we will play several teams with better athletes on the D Line. Wentz showed a lot of poise as he went through his progressions, along with a great arm. I am concerned about our WR and their ability to break press coverage against good cornerbacks. Overall it was a good start to the season, against a team that is in big trouble in the next few weeks.

[Tatanka]

The complete disappearance of all-everything he's gonna blow you up ISU tight end EJ Bibbs

[tjbison]

the awareness of our guys staying with the tipped balls, no celebrating and playing till the whistle blows, 2int's off of tipped balls

and I always love how everyone looks like family on our sidelines, that's a big reason this TEAM is so good.

#51 - James Fisher - the new long snapper

I noticed after one punt (one from ISU's 35, would have been a 51/52 yard field goal attempt), Benny and James were having a somewhat "heated" conversation. Most pissed I've ever seen Ben.

You could repeatedly see Carson going through all his progressions. Nice to see in his 1st start.

Bonnet puking on the sideline...hopefully it was just nerves.

It went on for over 5 minutes. I've never seen a long snapper and a punter/kicker getting after each other like that. Tatemosersneighbor and I were speculating about the reason why and could only come up with 2 reasons -- The snap was pretty high and Ben made a pretty nice play handling that ball, so Ben was pissed about that; or Fisher snapped the ball with way too much time left on the play clock, when we were obviously trying to milk the clock as much as possible, and Ben was pissed about that.

After they cooled off a bit, I yelled and got Fisher's attention. He turned around, probably not used to getting much attention as the long snapper. I gave him a thumbs up and said "Don't worry about it, you are fine." He smiled.

Maybe NDSU could put me on the payroll as the "Sideline Mediator." Pay me in beer, knoephla, and fleish kuechle.

Where the hell was our special teams coach when this was going on. Coack K had better give him an ass chewing. Can't have this stuff going on.
