So, two weeks in Egypt, the Red Sea, the Nile, spending time with the dead kings and on top of camels and I have returned refreshed. I read about our poor win at Rutgers. Read about our win against Neb. And got to watch a very dominating win vs Wis yesterday. Damn these PF teams are frustrating. If they only took care of business, we could be a 0 or 1 loss team and nationally relevant.
Yesterday, I thought the OL was okay. Not great, as indicated by the various fourth and inches that went nowhere and the lack of Mack truck sized holes for Bowser. But Clayton and his legs are back. Wowser! I wish he would stop staring down his receiver. But like a great pitcher than can tell you what’s coming and still beat you,CT was pretty darn impressive. A few picks, but not all were on him. That one early Nagel drop was a bummer.
Skow is really coming of age. Kinda like Gronk - big, slow footed, but goes up and comes down with it. We seem to have a nice set of WRs, but they just don’t get much separation. I think it is route running, selling the break, strong cuts, etc. You can probably tell that I’m not ready to give Springer nor Cushing a pass. One good game in the season is only good enough for PF. But I doubt we will see a change...again....
The D was darn impressive. Holy Hartage. Why did they even keep going that direction. Brown was a beast. Is it me, or does Gaz look big enough to slide inside next to Samdup and let Goins and Brown man the ends? I think they play strong enough for enough of the game to challenge just about anyone.
As for ST, the lack of kicker is now hurting the kickoff and the scoreboard. Time to rifle through the soccer team. Meanwhile, maybe we recruit one or two? It seems that we give leftover schollies each year to senior walkons, which is sweet and feels good, but how about throw those extras towards some special team upgrades?
For those that bothered to read this and got this far, I make another offer:
Looks like FEW and I are headed to Iowa. Day trip in the Bonnie. Depending on Lara’s interest, I will have one or two seats open. We are still waiting for game time announcements and I plan to return that night, unless they want to book rooms and leave in the morning. So, if you are ready to fly Knucklehead Airlines right to the game, hit me up.
