I really liked the defensive pressure that was applied to their QB. After the first few plays of the game our defensive rush got better. The QB was scrambling all night. He did not have alot of time to set up and he was hit numerous times after he released the ball. I know that was one of DR's comments after last year. The secondary played excellent with good coverage and run support. The special teams played well. i was sorta concerned when they let the 2nd kicker kick off. He did not get it as far as Matt does so it affected the kick coverage. I don't think they were ready for a shorter kick. The punting semms to be up and down this year so far IMO. Mike is booming them in warm ups but in the games he is not getting the same hang time or distance. I thought it was just last week at NCSU with the larger crowd. We have quite a return weapon in Fogg. I watched him for 4 years in high school and it was a weekly occurance. He is like a 4.2-4.3 sprinter. He showed that last week when he ran down the wide reciever and forced the fumble. All he needs is a little crease and he's gone. The offense was moving the ball last night. The runing game was sluggish but most of the runs were up the gut. Once they went outside they could gain some yards. Des' run was a the longest of the night and there was a HUGE block by 83 feeling back to pick off a DB. They showed i ton the big scrren and it got the whole stadium saying OHHHH! Chris and Pat caught some passes when they were covered extremely well by the DBs. On a couple of the passes Mike lobbed it 1-2 seconds before they evened looked back to him. They just beat the other guy to the ball. Overall it was a pretty good outing for the team, a convincing win and not looking past them to JMU and getting out of the game fairly heathly.
