First off, what a fun game to watch! Things clicked on both offense and defense and mistakes were kept to a minimum. That is the recipe for winning football games and that is just what we have seen in our two games so far. The fact that last night it happened against a higher caliber team than last week’s opponent is cause for a bit of relief also.
ON OFFENSE
Right off the top of my head I have to acknowledge the fantastic job the offensive line played last night. They opened up space at the line of scrimmage for Conner to get through so that he could bull his way around in the second level. They protected Voytik very well giving up zero sacks and gave the young QB some time to make decisions on passing plays.
Since an offense is really only made up of two things, running and passing, that good work they did was critical. Plus they did it with injuries and shuffling of players. The fact that in their third year Chryst and Hueber have big, talented bodies to plug-n-play on the line shows me all I need to know about Chryst’s OL recruiting. In just two full recruiting seasons he’s brought in more OL talent than I can remember in a long time.
