As DC said, you either win or lose.
But...there are clearly some positive things that lead me to beleive we really are headed in the right direction.
1)First and foremost some of our best players are freshman that were recruited in such a short period
-give DC a few years of recruiting and what might our athleticism be?
-ACS, alexander, gary, ruff (he seems to have a motor!), muhammad
2) The D may have given up 41 points (how many times will we ever see a McCoy?) but they really fly around and swarm to the ball.
-hendricks really impressed me today...our LB core of knapton, hendricks, johnson and biezuns is really good IMO
-marcel gipson played pretty good cover corner on a talented wr
-prosinski gets a lot of tackles and has a nose for where the play is headed, but he still makes some big mistakes (most notably McCoy's TD run)
-D-line definitely didn't play as well in the 2nd half, but I don't think we will see another OL like Texas. There is no quit in fletcher and unrein, how can you not like those guys!
3) I like Benjamin's running ability and his willingness to throw the ball away rather than make a big mistake, but he just wasn't very accurate today.
-Personally I would like to see ACS get the start against CU.
-We get 4 years with ACS? I think that bodes very well for us!
-Maybe it is me, but what if ACS was the starter and in certain situations we would put both ACS and Benjamin in, we could really give the defense troubles.
4) The bad news...
-I just don't think our WR's create nearly enough separation. We really need more speed. Clearly this position is our glaring weakness.
-TX has a kicker that sends every ball through the endzone. We can barely kick it past the 20. Come on! I've never seen so many line drive punts before and it seems to really work (or at least a lot better than the short punts we saw out of McCoy last year).
