[QUOTE="mhuml32, post: 1796679, member: 3621"] I don't get to do these as often as I want but I made sure to bring it back for the great performance: The Good: - Devito with the perfect game while understanding the context. On the road against an opponent that has owned you for 25ish years. No turnover worthy passes. Excellent movement in the pocket to extend plays. Worked through his progressions. Dream first half of the season from him. Undoubtedly an upgrade at the QB position since ....... Lunt's best season? - Hightower with his best CFB of his career. Huge first catch of the game that established the offense was willing to go deep. Moved the chains a number of times. No idea if Bryant's injury is a long-term concern but Hightower would be an important solution. - Avery is officially the guy we all hoped for when he committed. Just dominating the middle and raising the floor of Illinois rushing defense. Also gives lots of flexibility on defensive fronts/responsibilities. Both terrified and happy for all three that Newton, Avery, and Randolph could be in the NFL next year. Glad TeRah flashed yesterday because he might be needed a LOT next year. - Wasn't needed a lot, but Love did fine in his carries. Alleviated the concern about no McCray for this game. - That first punt from Robertson was massive. We all had concerns about the special teams for this game but Robertson was solid, Griffin made his longer FG (while injured). - Five-for-Five in the Red Zone. Huge to see the offense answering those concerns. - Happy for Nicholson. He's been picked on with DW31 on the other side but he held up well after the first possession. Interception was also great to put on film. The Bad: - Timing between DeVito and Tip Reiman needs to improve. There is one play a game where they are just off on space or time. Opportunities are there, gotta cash in. - Hope the Bryant injury isn't long-term. - PFF still isn't loving the linebackers play right now in pass rush or coverage, Hart especially. Probably still recovering from the ACL. The linebacker rushing defense scores are still excellent. [/QUOTE]
