The Defense was as good as it could be. But, I have no idea how good/bad Weber’s offense is. Holding any team to 3 first downs is amazing. If there weren’t back to back offsides – they may have only had two first downs.
I was hard on the Special Teams last night and I still feel that they were not as good as we expect from our guys. But, the punting was very good, the fake punt was great and there was little opportunity for returns. I do not understand why we were taking fair catches on kickoffs.
Covey was great and Marinar was also very good. I am excited for Enis. The other wide receivers had bad games IMO. I like the fact that we used the tight ends. We need to do it more IMO. Huntley looked too hyped up. He needs to look at BJ films from 2008. He always kept his emotions under control. Our offensive line didn’t look very good IMO. I admit, that I am not looking too closely at them. I just know that Weber was stopping the run more than not. We did have some huge runs; Moss, Covey (twice), Shelley.
I understand why the coaching staff doesn’t do much live work (preventing injuries). But, no live work hurts in early season execution. No one really took a hit until last night.
They say the best improvement happens from game 1 to game 2. We have nine days. We have a lot to improve on. I hope to see better offensive execution next Saturday.
Go Utes!!!
