First, congratulations to the Cowboys and Coach Bohl. Amidst all of the second-guessing, most of us had this one penciled in as a "who the hell knows" and the boys come away with a W.
Second, I was just watching the CST interview with Coach Bohl and was incredibly pleased to hear his reference to "utlizing our halftime well." Last year, it was a comedy of errors after every half - and after the lightening delay during the Northern Colorado game...we damned near lost that game if you will recall. Granted, we were a bit sluggish after the second lightening delay, but went back to work and got the job done.
Third, I loved how we grabbed the ball with 5 minutes left in the fourth and functionally never let them have it back. Granted, we flubbed up the very end of the game (meaning our last offensive play), but we had them on their heels. We were grinding and it was fun to watch. It was also fun to watch our running backs carrying people for an extra 3-5 yards after significant contact and our defense really not allowing them to fall forward, which has been the case for far too long.
Fourth, I nearly cried when I saw a fullback in the backfield. Enough said.
Gents, we have a long way to go to get back on track, but we will get there. Like any recipe driven process, you have to get all of the ingredients in place. Kirk will be a work in progress. The oline will have its ups and downs. But we have the right head man...at least based on what I saw yesterday.
