Last nights game went from bad to worse then worser then ok. As we all know our O-Line is down right atrocious, we made Marshall's D-Like look like the Pittsburgh Steelers out there. Not only could they not sustain a block they couldn't even figure out the damn snap count. Paging Rick Trickett; where are you when we need someone to land a solid right on someones chin? I don't know what we did all summer but it sure as hell wasn't strength training cause you looked like a bunch of pussies! Ok that's enough about the O-Line..get your shit together!
What really surprised me was the lack of pressure we put on the QB all night. It seems like there was so much talk about our experienced D-Line and how we were going to blitz more. If it were up to me and it obviously isn't Bruce Irving would be in there way more often...not just 3rd downs. Oh yeah Keith Tandy, you got beat deep......again. How the fuck are you still a starter are we that bad at the CB position that you got the job or does Stewy just not want to hurt your feelings?
Alright so what good came from this game. We beat Marshall again. Brandon Hogan looked like a stud, shedding blocks and making great open field tackles when we needed them late in the game. Eugene Smith showed us that we have ourselves one hell of a QB. A true sophomore in only his second start conducted two 90+ yard drives (96, 98) with 8 minutes left in the game is amazing. He was smart with the ball making good decisions and knew when to tuck it and run. Not to mention that TD pass and 2pt conversion were perfectly thrown passes (although it looked like the TD pass was going to sail into the 1st row when he released it).
The one thing I will say is that Marshall's punter is pretty good.
Well I'm ready to get my college football programing on! A ton of good games today and Josie is ready to start pounding beers so I'll be checking in randomly throughout the day. Happy watching college football fans!
On the little bit I have seen re-watching the game, it looked like BI was all over the place when in the game. Have to agree, get that stud in there more!
