Just finished the game and YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Teams of old would have managed to lose.

One thing I've noticed is that the Ds pursuit is the best I've ever seen.

The defense also finds ways to get turnovers, they have 7 through 3 games this season.

 

The defense has played much better in the 2nd half of games this season, we need to find a way to have them play that way the whole game.

I never said they were the greatest ever. But they are finding ways to win. And you know what?! 3-0 bitches!!!!! Sounds nice!!!!!

A few thoughts...

 

- We milked away the last six minutes of the game. And WKU had three timeouts to use. When was the last time we've been able to do that? The Mallory/AT days? Anyway, we earned this victory.

 

- Jordan Howard is the best player on this team. Yes, Sudfeld is the leader. Jones is coming on as a receiver. Redding looks solid. Our O-line has a couple gems. But Howard is just such a strong, powerful back. It takes so much to bring him down. He's just on a higher level than most RBs. If he was at Notre Dame, he'd already be a Heisman candidate.

 

- Pass defense is poor. But we started pulling a few LBs back in the second half and it helped a bit. Crawford made some good reads on the ball. And our D-line kept them from getting much on the ground, making them one-dimensional. All in all, the D did just enough to win against an offense that would probably be middle of the pack in the Big Ten.

 

- This was a good win. WKU looks to be an 8+ win team this year. If people want to complain about playing Southern Illinois so close, that's legitimate. But WKU is a GOOD mid-major. The kind that can beat Power 5 teams (see Vanderbilt this year.) I'll gladly take a 3-point victory. Gladly.

 

- @Wake Forest becomes a HUGE opportunity for this team. A 4-0 start would be so beneficial for this team. And it's certainly feasible. I think it would allow the players to be a little more loose and play with more confidence. However, 3-1 would possibly stunt our growth and make our path to 6 wins less certain. And with Ohio State looming, our momentum could be lost.

To the last point you made this is how I am grading Wilson. This program has got to get past the total crap outs once conference play begins.

They have actually played pretty well the 1st quarter as well.  It is the 2nd quarter that is the killer.  In particular the last few minutes of the 2nd quarter.
