[QUOTE="Ransom Stoddard, post: 1786253, member: 10336"] Just got back from the game. Great win to start the season, but a couple of observations: 1. Our defense against the run needs some work. We gave up 182 yards to a Mountain West team. That's not horrible, but that's also not particularly good. Top tier B1G teams may run all over us. 2. After some spotty play in the late 1st and early 2nd quarter, DeVito looked good. I thought he was throwing behind his receivers for a while but then he turned it around. 3. Our secondary performed very very well today, as did our pass rush. Guys were getting their hands on the ball to break up plays (those 2 "shoulda been" interceptions were heartbreakers) and Wyoming receivers couldn't get to the ball. 4. Our run game seemed really inconsistent, especially up the middle. I think some O-line work will shore this up, but I don't think running off center is going to be a strength this year. 5. Someone said earlier that MS didn't run out of water this year--I couldn't find any on the East Main at the beginning of Q4. 6. FG kicking. Ouch. It was a great August day for a football game, and we're 1-0!!!! On to Indinia. [/QUOTE]
