And this team is better both ways, all 3 ways (ST) than I believe ALL of us felt after that 1st game. I was very raw after that 1st game but as some of us suspected, USU is decent.
On a quick side note, these are thoughts that I’m sharing with the guys who try to maintain positivity. There is still more of us😊
Iowa St is probably a year away but they have good Rbers and a very, very good defense. They lost 7 games last year by 38 pts, wow!!!
With that said, I’d had plenty to drink by the 2nd half yesterday. I don’t always remember what I saw and I don’t always get back through a game….
Watched the 2nd half tonight. That drive in the 3rd quarter was a VERY good one. It also encompassed our totality of offense. In typical fashion (yes it’s irritating) we kept the game in front of us for the most part after that….meaning we just played clean.
That drive lasted 5 minutes, used 3 Rbers, 3 different WRs and some very good blocking. Patterson took down 2 on a 3rd and 2 where McNamara back pedaled, got hit and threw a dumb to All for 15 yards.
McNamara is fine and those predicting his demise are the typical fatalist that almost want us to fail.
On their TD drive I wish we’d got off the field but for whatever reason, Phil or KF or both were content with ISU burning 7 minutes…
As an interesting aside comparing fans, they were mad (ISU fans) they didn’t hurry up and try us over the top, but the other team (us) doesn’t just say ok….not sure why fans struggle so badly with that concept.
In short we got better again this game, Leistikow and Marvin McNutt were right, our blocking was better. I’d take their thoughts over ANY of the disenchanted types in here.
We essentially gained 210ish yards in 2 Qtrs and 11minutes.
We are much better than last year and you don’t have to let people who have rarely been happy in the 20 plus years I’ve been on here convince you otherwise.
Johnson is lacking a little suddenness right now, must have an ankle issue.
Kyler Fisher and DeShuan Lee will be important to our success, they have both played well.
Super excited to see Harris though, Cooper made him an afterthought last year but as someone said maybe @ghostOfHomer777 they like Harris a lot…He is also 6-1 190 plus and a highend draft prospect.
Jackson looked way, more comfortable in space this week.
Still shocked, how good our pass blocking is AND all our Rbers are decent at blitz pickups, been awhile in that for us..
Just like last week that game was never super in doubt at 10-0…
Super side note…watching Jets, I love Breece Hall, not sure if we ever offered him after Goodson signed, but I liked him a lot more than Jerhil Brock.
