Everyone that went to the game or saw the game, What grade would you give this team compared to last year.
I think we will see ISU show more patience with Kent - I still believe we will win by 12
Everyone that went to the game or saw the game, What grade would you give this team compared to last year.
ST: B; Mahoney gets an A. Looked confident. But Mcdowell fumbled and picked up a ball that was going out of bounds. That is automatically at the 40 now. I know he returned it a ways but it was stupid
kicking : A+ Can't mess with perfection.
On replay the ball looked like it might roll dead before going out of bounds. Judgement call that must be made quickly, he made it--and still had a long return. I can't call a snap call "stupid".
QB play: B+; They weren't asked to do a lot but played well. Bates fumble keeps them away from A
RB play: C+; Perhaps this is the O-lines fault but I was less than impressed with how ARob ran the ball. Great to see Harris hit the hole running
WR/TE play: B; Great catch by Franklin and Sed. Sed ran a bad out route and that is why the pass was wide. Also stopped on a route but can't complain about it being his first game
OL: C; Good pass protection, but bad run blocking. Need to be able to dominate lesser teams
DL: B-; 2 INT's should be an A but they didn't dominate the run and didn't get pressure unless LB's blitzed
LB: B; Couple INT's and a TD. Got to the QB. At times a step behind but that is to be expected
DB's: B; Big hitters! Covered well on the sidelines but got beat to the inside at times. Missed some tackles
ST: B; Mahoney gets an A. Looked confident. But Mcdowell fumbled and picked up a ball that was going out of bounds. That is automatically at the 40 now. I know he returned it a ways but it was stupid
Overall Grade: B-
This was the worst team we have played in years. It was a great win, especially for a young team. A lot to be excited about since we can clean up a lot of mistakes
