I didn't get a good chance to really watch these 2. Any opinions on how they did in there 1st game of the season?
A.Jackson & T.Wirfs first game
- Thread starter DaCDiggity
- Start date
Wirfs looked dominate in the run game. Saw a flat out pancake on one play and an excellent edge seal on another. Jackson looked confused in pass protection, but then again, so did our entire offense by the blitzes ISU was doing. If you notice, our run game has consistently gone outside. Other then FB dive, I can't remember another designed inside run.
Thought they both a little rusty, wirfs got beat bad on one pass play.
Both will be a lot better in the next couple of weeks.

Wirfs whiffed on a stretch play to the right early in the game. DE went inside to blow up the play and I’m not sure Tristan got a hand on him. It looked.... bad. Seemed to pick it up later in the game though. Some good 5-10 yd outside runs to his side later.
Not at all worried. Great look to cut your teeth on. Essentially a disguised 7 - 8 man front two steps after the snap on run plays.
A bit of wishful thinking in that comment, but I'm right there with ya.
It was there first game back so it will take live reps to get back up to speed. They had there hands full yesterday against a defense that was better than they might have anticipated. Tune up next week with intentional focus on sound execution in preparation for Bucky.
