The Good, The Bad, and The "Holy Crap, What the hell!?" G6

[fromolwyoming]

The Good-
Shaun Wick. Had 97 yards, 1 TD, and averaged more than 6 yards a carry. Got off to a slow start, but that was more on the o-line than anything. Showing once again, he is a beast as a back.

TO Margin-We forced 2 TOs and did not turn it over ourselves. That's a plus.

Defense, sort of. Did a lot of bending, often quite painful bending, both literally and physically, but kept us in the game until the offense got their heads out of their asses and got to work.

Dominic Rufran- Continues his streak of consecutive games with a catch, with 2 big catches near the end of regulation.

The Bad-
O-line. It wasn't until the 4th quarter that the o-line realized they're supposed to push the SJSU defense around, not vice versa. Prior to that, they did practically nothing, especially in blocking.

Total Yards gained and allowed. We gained 277 yards, 200 of which came in the last part of the game. Prior to that, we were around 79 yards through 3 quarters. We allowed 471 yards. We somehow stayed in the game, but damn.

The "Holy Crap, What the Hell!?"-
Kirk missing the 2 open receivers in the endzone. But because he locks onto his target as soon as he hikes the ball, he didn't bother looking. Cost us 7 points and quite possibly the game.

The botched FG at the end of regulation. It had the distance, but it bounced off the freakin' goal posts! If it is just a few inches to the left, we win our ugliest game to date.

The offense throughout most of the game. 79 total yards up until about the 4th quarter. 79. Most of the drives were 3 and out. And most of those yards came on our FG drive in the 1st. Our offense seems to be regressing in most phases aside from a few players.

Defensive injuries. 1 after another of our defenders were dropping. Including our best defender in Mark Nzeocha who never came back into the game. We don't have much in the way of depth, and at this rate, we may be onto the 3rd stringers and walk-ons if we keep losing defenders.
