1. PSU and Wisky are the only really good teams upcoming.
2. Big game for redemption this next saturday and if the hawks can win they are about where we thought they would be.
3. I havent seen anything great from jNW, Purdue, Nebby, Minny and of course Illini.
The hawk defense is playing great and maybe doing it with some smoke and mirrors because I really havent seen a shutdown Def LIne yet. Need to stuff more runs for less yardage to get teams in long yardage, and need better pass rush including blitzing. If you are assigned to blitz then dont hold up as I saw a few players do today. PSU has some speed on offense so need to not give up big plays. I hope and think Kinnick will be very loud. Do it again defense.
It seemed like #64 Schott was bulldozing people in earlier games but I didnt see him play. Hurt or not playing?
The offense or more specifically BFerentz needs to find and identity. Try to be a running team first after all the holding penalties and sacks????? Goodson get even more touches. Toren Young at least had a pulse with 5 yards per carry maybe Young getting more chances to get tough yards. Need to find ways to practice getting the TEnds to go 5 yards downfield, turn around and catch a needed 5-6 yard pass on any down.
After this performance the hawks are above avg but not yet considered really good and they certainly are not an overall powerful team.
What would do with this offense??? I might like Young and Goodson/Sargent a lot more as split backs in at the same time.
