I was impressed by the speed and quickness of the D Line. Several sweeps were taken down by quick linemen.
Defense is starting to show the fruits of improved recruiting.
Lancaster catching that guy on the outside was fantastic. You can count on a couple of hands how often that has happened in the past. The Cats looked quicker and more athletic. Quiero, a 6'3" safety, out leapt a huge receiver on a ball that a 5'10" safety would miss. That reflects recruiting.
Improved recruiting? Can't be. We sign way too many two star players and can't win championships because we can't seal the deal with the 4 and 5 star players like Stanford does. Isn't that what some of our more esteemed posters on this board constantly remind us of?
