Not as bad as our performances and not as good as our preseason expectations.
This past weeks game, gave me hope that our offense is getting back on track. Also felt better about our Special Teams (FG/PAT) being able to block going into BSC play.
Though I feel we have underachived a little, (in all aspects of the game) I don't think anyone really expected us to be 3-0 at this point in the season and in fact we are the record most expected. (Well most of us not under the influece :mrgreen: )
Against SJSU our defense played well and held a pretty high caliber offense in check, only exposed in the air becasue of lack of pass rush, which is expected when playing against larger upper level teams. The Offense though shut out did move the ball well at times, but lack the ability to finish in the red zone...only concern I had after this game was the PAT/FG team.
Against ASU, I felt we had a little bit of a set back...basically a carry over issue from the SJSU game..after getting the initial FG blocked and then giving up a fairly quick score, it made for a bad night. We played flat and looked overwhelmed in all aspects of the game. Talent wise there was clearly a difference, so I take it for what it;s worth....$450k :twocents:
Against SOU, well the "O" and special teams showed up and I was happy about that...The defense, well that was ugly, but I also have a little bit of a different perspective on that...the coaches knew what they were seeing coming in, and I am sure worked on a plan to try and stop it, but within their system, sometimes that doesn't work. Ask all the FBS teams that lost to FCS teams the last couple weeks and years...it happens...I would rather our defense lick its wounds and be prepared to stop BSC foes than change thier system to try and stop a wild offense in the pre-season. Now if CP or UCD or Montana throw up 49 against us, then I will be pissed.
I think we will be fine....again we are right where we expected to be record wise
Now get healthy hornets and get ready for SU.
