I thought MDA played a terrific game today. When he was in, he was making his presence felt. Would love to think that maybe this is where he starts to turn it on, if the kid can just put it all together, our LB corps is going to just be *sick* the next few years. Hell, it's sick (good sick) now.
All in all, it was a fun game to watch. People don't seem to realize we're running a more balanced offense now, it's just that we're not running it effectively. Today I actually thought Craig was just plain off, I found myself hoping McMullen, Zwick and/or Smith would see time -- but we got the win, so I guess I'm glad they didn't. Obviously we have no running game to speak of, but I like what Ira G. is showing. I thought the OL was a noticeable upgrade without Bishop. Feel bad saying it, but they just seemed better, and against a damn good D too.
Anyway, I was going to make some comments elsewhere, but the whinefest is in full tilt.
Rip said elsewhere that if we can find an offense, we're unstoppable. I couldn't agree more. Oklahoma *may* have a better D, but I wouldn't trade ours for any other. I don't buy that Purdue's is better. We'll see. Our STs are just plain awesome, or at least they were today. Credit to BJ Shankers (woops, SANDERS), he's totally destroyed that old nickname that people loved so much, and has turned into nearly as effective a weapon as Andy Groom. Nuge is still Nuge. We'll really miss him when he goes. Most teams are happy to have a good kicker, few get to relax behind great kickers.
Anyway, enough rambling.
No, not enough -- how comical is Big Ten officiating these days? Someone needs to mail those remedial fools (all of them) pictures of what holding looks like.
