The bad:
We lost the battle of the lines on both sides. We still can't run block and we still can't stop good teams from breaking off big runs. We don't have a replacement for Cowing.
We got badly outcoached the entire 2nd half of the game on both sides of the ball. D line was not as powerful as we hoped. No pressure from the front four, and no run stops from them either.
The good:
Hardison looked much improved to me. Very few uncatchable passes, better decision making, better touch on mid and short passes, reading through progressions.
Flores is just a player who makes things happen.
We looked like a respectable team on both sides of the ball that got beat by a better team.
Summary:
We are the same team as last year with a better QB but receivers not good enough for big time. We will beat bad teams and lose to good teams.
Dimel has built our talent level, but we are not over the hump. We are probably top half of the conference but not top 25%
