Good:
Chris Norwood is emerging as a true star of this team! The run defense pretty much shut down the BSU running game (if it were not for a couple of plays, we would have held them to about 50 yards rushing). McConathy played a great game. I think our guys showed what kind of character they have today. Despite the inadequate coaching staff, they showed that they DO have the talent to play with Top 25 teams until coaching comes into play. I was very impressed how our defense was flying around in the 1st half.
Bad:
Offense is still too predictable in the second half. 439 yards should result in more than 10 points. WAC referees, God bless them, are probably the worst group of officials in the world. The lateral pass could have made this game go down to the wire.
Ugly:
Of course the ugliest part of the game can be attributed to the coaching staff....the kickoff we returned to the 32 and then took a Boise offsides penalty, only to return the next one to the 12 and get a penalty to take it back to the 6 (which eventually resulted in a safety). The team also had several dumb penalties. The facemask on the sack of Dinwiddie in the end zone was a heartbreaker.
I was fairly pleased with this effort. I think our players are extremely handicapped with the knuckleheads we have as coaches, but they showed alot of heart in holding them to 34 offensive points. I thought it was a great effort considering how bad they have been playing.
