[QUOTE="bke1984, post: 73161, member: 932"] I didn't read all six pages, so I'm sorry if some of this has already been said, but here are my thoughts... [INDENT][LIST] [*]This was a first college start for a ton of guys on our team. That probably explains the slow start in the first half. If you look at the halves separately, we won 10-9 in the first and 28-10 in the second...not that bad [*]It felt like it was about 120 degrees out there. I've been going to games at BDS since the mid-90's, but I've never been at a game that hot. '98 against Boston College was close, but not like this. Fans were having a hard time staying in the stands, so imagine what the players were going through down on the field. That kind of heat can tend to slow players down a bit...especially when you don't have a ton of depth to rotate in and out (i.e. on the offensive and defensive lines). I'm a bit worried about the weather for the Tulane game next week (more for me than the players!) [*]I'm worried about our interior offensive line. I need to watch the film, but it looked like their assignments were breaking up the B-back option most of the time rather than the end. Tough to tell at game speed, but it was a bit troublesome [*]Not sure what our defensive strategy was...seemed like we just lined up in a straight 4-3 man and tried to read the option without being aggressive.
