I think this was the game we've all been waiting for. Finally, this team puts it all together and lays the smack down on someone.
BLM - Excellent game. Played within himself and managed the game. Decent numbers and would have had even better numbers if not for a couple of easy drops. No picks, no problem!
TJ - Seriously - is there a better back in FCS? I don't think so.
Offensive Line - Superb
Defense - Ok, gave up some yards, but a lot of it was in garbage time. What really sticks out is how the defense came out in the start of the game and completely took PSU out of their game. They had to almost completely abandon the run game and were forced to pass the ball game long.
Special teams - Kicking game not stellar but at least we were able to get a FG through finally. Kick/punt coverage excellent for the most part. Punting was EXCELLENT! Negatives were the 2 TO's on the kick-offs......unacceptable fellas.
For the most part, the Eagles played like a championship team today, and I'm damn happy about that. I do feel slightly better about the rest of the season with the remaining games being at home, but SUU will be no joke (glad we have the bye week to prepare for them) and ISU is playing like they can knock off anyone right now. They also tend to win the last games of the year, so that will be a tough one too.
"One game at a time" Eagles......win out and get a little help from Montana and we could be in there.
