Mr All Turk: Watkins
I gave this award to watkins because when Doc adjusted against those quick outside screens by placing watkins right up to the los, watkins really shut it down. Further, cant help but notice him and anderson on punt team. That duke punt returner kept getting drilled, which ended up making him hear footsteps and drop the pill.
Of course Awalk could have easily got mr all turk as well as lorwy or Godwin but i wantto recognize how intense watkins play was.
All turk awards: park long jackson mitchell lowry walker godwin van hoose harris kuhar lancaster robbins gibson.
Db grade: A
nowhere to pass. Hard hitting. Starters plus kyle and watkins were great.
Lb: grad A
Awalk was phenomenal on run and pass. Lost track of tackles. Only had one bad read which was a big run. Prater looked good but got sealed off a few times. Smith played tough and loved his open field tacle out on the wing. Quero played but didnt notice much.
Dl: grade A
Lowry was a beast. Everyone else good with a special shout out to thompson who was very interesting.
Dc:grade A
The rotation allowed us to play fresh all game. I liked his adjustments and calls.
Ol:: Grade B-
Some may think this is a high score but i thought they did better. Being one dimensional has really loaded things up against them.i thought park had a good game and vitale as a blocker. Otherwise we wore down a gassed duke d which didnt seem to have much of a defensive rotation.
Wr: grade C-
Very poor game. Missed blocks except for one nice block by carr. Nagles play is simply unacceptable.
QB: D+
I know he is a freshman but he can do better. Really poor play. Honestly, he needs to be tougher. Plays like a suburban boy even though he is a big kid. He stops when he runs like he doesnt want to get hit. Cmon maaaannn. Run the damn ball if your number is called. Great arm but lacks confidence. I hope he is learning. Almost tossed his 3rd int with a wide open shuler. Kid plays like a deer in headlights. Not being mean just expressing what i see.
Rb: grade A
jackson a long.
Oc:McCall : grade A
i thought he really had a helluva game plan and play calling. Longs td was sweet when everyone just knew thorson was going to run it. Vitales pulling blocking stumped duke as well. Although it appeared to me that little vitale sprung Long.
Special teams: grade A
our gunners were unreal. Mitchell was money.
Head coach : grade A
overcoming a very inexperienced QB and the sun was awesome. Our depth against dukes lack of depth actually allowed us to use the hot sun and rotation to wear down duke. Duke is good but fitz outcoached duke. Except cutliffe snuck in a hurry up once to flag us for a first down.
Great game being with alot of cat fans, several of which i met for the first time. Go cats!
