[QUOTE="roadkill, post: 962957, member: 1555"] My takeaways... The Good: [LIST] [*]30 points and hanging on to win by two scores in the second half, on the road against an opponent favored to win. [*]5:1 turnover ratio. Defense bent but didn’t break. In an apparent response to coach Key’s criticism during practice, D-line played with high energy - 8 sacks with several contributing to turnovers in our favor. Biggers had a huge (pun intended) night. [*]King and receivers continued their string of completing some great passes, with our O-line giving good protection again. [*]Special teams were good for 12 points and were solid in all phases except penalties. We should not be at the bottom in special teams efficiency after this game. [/LIST] The Not-So-Good: [LIST] [*]Obviously setting a record for penalties stands out, and they extended WF drives when we had them backed up. Many of WF’s 31 first downs were the result of penalties rather than poor defense. Especially disappointing after having what had appeared to be a very disciplined team. Refs didn’t do us any favors, but still. [*]Our run game struggled somewhat against a statistically average (FEI) WF defense. This got us behind the sticks a few times. [*]Run defense also struggled, allowing 224 yards on the ground. Although tackling seemed better (we seemed to get the runner on the ground more quickly after contact), we still were out of position quite a bit and allowed some long runs as a result. At times at least one of our DBs was not aware of who had the ball. [*]King made some great passes but there were a relatively large number that were off the mark. 16/27 @59% is a bit below his season average. I’m inclined to cut him some slack on this game due to the weather. [/LIST] All in all, a pretty good performance against a near-peer, in a game we almost had to win to have a chance at a bowl.
