I was at my cousin's wedding this weekend. I watched from kickoff to about 4 minutes left in the first, had to go into the ceremony, ran out immediately after, and watched from about 1 minute left in the half through the end of the game. All of this was on an iPhone and without the benefit of pausing, going back... Additionally, I was being introduced to people, being reintroduced to people, I hadn't seen in years, had to take a couple pictures and was constantly having to put down the phone and take out the ear piece.
As such, I didn't get to watch the game how I wanted to. Here's what I did see: Thorson struggled a lot passing the ball and made some questionable decisions on the option. Jackson, Long and Vault can all play at an elite level. I'm not sure why we didn't spread the carries a little more. We were weaker against the run than I was expecting. I think that may be due to Sirk being such a big powerful runner. I think we also put more emphasis on stopping the pass than the run. That's why they were at 3.8 yards per passing attempt and 5 yards per rushing attempt.
I didn't really see was how our oline performed. Can someone roll throw some questions for me:
Who was out due to injury?
Who was the starting line and who got the most reps behind them?
How many guys deep did we go?
Any stand outs positively?
Anyone that we need to hope he improves (ie. anyone stand out negatively)?
