What a game. I am jacked that they got the W, but not as encouraged as I was hoping.
These are just my quick thoughts post game. As I get a chance to watch it, read quotes and contemplate how I feel about it, but these are my quick thoughts...
- What a gutsy call on 4th and 1. That would have been second guessed for the rest of the season had they missed it.
- NIU clearly made the better adjustments at half time and that concerns me more than anything else.
- The defense was better. Statistically they did alright in the first half and then second half did great on first and second down. But third and long was unbearable.
- Weber to Decker is a solid combination.
- Somebody point out how much we used the TE to Haggeman. Simmons with a huge TD and Tow-Arnett had two receptions on the final drive.
- I am glad we got the win under out belt and it is probably beneficial to finish off a close game. But just about everybody we play from here on out will be better, which means we'll have to play much better to get a couple more Ws.
