Not sure what Jon is up to tonight so I thought Id do him a solid and help out by getting this started:

The rules are simple:

Post three good things from this game

Post three bad things from this game

Ready?

Go.

(PS -It may be hard to find or limit yourself to three good things and three bad things. That's the game though. You have to find three of both to play.)

GOOD
1. QB with his first road win.
2. Kicker killing it.
3. Defense playing smash-mouth football for two goal line stands.

BAD
1. ESPN3 announcers.
2. KSU with one or two major hits on LU running plays.
3. LU giving up a special team TD.

The Good:
1. Buckshot and the offense as a whole, really. Much better organization and a little better play calling this go round.
2. The Defense....just downright tenacious in the red-zone.
3. Probert! I had my doubts, but the kid will be (already is) going to be special.


The Bad:
1. Would have loved to have seen the game and what was...a much needed road win
2. A few more yards given up than I would have preferred (DISCLAIMER - but again, the Defense did a really good job overall)
3. Late games make the board buzz till long past my bedtime and I can't get enough sleep to be in early service tomorrow (that's all I got)

GOOD

Probert: Not just the 3 FG He and his teammates have done a great job on kickoffs
Red Zone defense: Still making mistakes resulting in big plays, but GREAT HEART in the clutch
Calvert: Completed passes to 11 different receivers He is looking at the whole field

BAD

Big plays against the D: Gotta fix this to realize our potential
Penalties: To his credit, Gill got on them good about this, but he shouldn't need to address that in-game
Going for 2 early: It really could have cost us in this one

Nice to be able to say that it was a bit hard to narrow the GOOD down to 3

Thanks for starting this thread, Beej. I was only able to catch parts of the first half and the first drive of the second half. With that in mind, along with the box score, etc, here are mine:

The Good

Special Teams
A kickoff return for a TD and all of Probert's FGs were great to see. We are at our best when our return game and FG unit are weapons.

Offensive Playcalling
The last drive of the first half and first drive of the second half were the best drives I've seen us have this year. It's obvious we've been holding back until now and it's nice to see what we can be.

Goal Line Defense
One goal line stand is great. Two is incredible.

The Bad

Chasing Points
Going back to the 2014 season, we are something like 2-12 on two point conversions. Gill consistently chases points and puts us in potentially bad situations later in the game.

Special Teams
There were definite highs, but a punt block and muffed punt weren't good.

Takeaways
This was the only game this season we haven't had at least one takeaway and only the second we haven't won the turnover battle. It's nitpicky, but rules are rules.
