Game thoughts:
1. Great game plan and execution- run commitment but Stick also identified people out of position and kept eyes downfield to burn them early. 11/12 25.6 yards per pass 46 runs 7.4 per. Not every run went for 3.3- RELAX when they don’t.
Bison played their game and were good enough to outplay some calls that didn’t go their way. Team felt this after EWU 2011 and I think got another reminder with SDSU. They may not always win, but I think have the best opportunity when controlling what they can. Some like vanilla and chocolate. I like vanilla. It is what the Bison do.
2. Consistent pressure dinged up Streveler early and he was not able to do his thing later in the game. He came up with a limp in the 2nd or early 3rd and may have impacted his ability to finish throws late. Nothing illegal, but this has been a hallmark for some big, tight Bison wins in the past.
3. Thank you seniors- praying for Kuhnert. Been a tough year for injuries and some positives come out with other people getting opportunities. Hate to see those guys going down and not getting to play.
4. I like the way they are rotating backs. 1-2 punch with a pepper of #3. Bruce may have not shown up a ton but he did have some big yards, and is playing the bruiser role. Maybe needs a little more patience. He will pop a couple yet.
5. Looks to me like these guys just got some of the early season swagger back, and I am optimistic for the rest of the year.
*swagger does not mean cross arms after every decent tackle. Celebrate in a way that doesn’t show up opponents. Hug a teammate or something, because everyone is working on each play. Bison swagger, not look at me swagger.
