I still can't believe what I saw on tv last night. I was so amped afterwards I couldn't get to sleep until around 2 am....stayed up watching Sports Center and the replays.
A 21 point dog, short week, new QB leading a banged-up team probably losing confidence versus 14th ranked Wolfpack on Senior night with AA now Pro Bradley Chubb juicing a wildly enthusiastic crowd of 55,000+ in pre-game expecting a blow-out win..........who'd a thunk a Deac win was remotely possible.
Forgive me but I got to note 1 negative....the OL. Gawd Almighty it gets worse every game - all of them. Carney got 80% of his yards on his own brute strength, second effort and pure will. And same for Newman with his size carrying 1 or 2 guys for 3-4 yards and falling forward not backward. Oh sure there were 2-3 times where #68 ( not gonna name names ) had a nice block-out for a hole but way overall, the OL just can't create a FORWARD PUSH of 3-4 yards with ANY running play. And I don't believe it's got anything to do with Herron being OFTY.
BTW, Sciba(sp) is MONEY....Weaver who !
Lastly, the TD drive that made it 20-23....what was it, 78 yards on FOUR PLAYS or something ? TWO fantastic throws and TWO amazing clutch catches....THAT got me jumping off my sofa !!!!
GO DEACS !
Oh yea, did the quad get rolled ?
EDIT: Howz about the play of Basham and somebody named Allen, eh ? Basham's beginning to learn about pursuit and this Allen kid had 2 TFL's in 1st half !
