I am tickled orange. Two of the top rushing defenses clashed and I think ours ended the game as the better defense. And I still think Hardison is great. I know, I know, all about opinions and such. He has 1 receiver. We were in position to win the game.
But, I see things that just make me wonder. I see running backs running like they have their eyes closed. Like they sometimes have open holes in front of them and they find the one guy that has gotten into the backfield and run into his arms. The play before the second UTEP td the UTEP offensive line have driven the Mean Green backwards into the end zone and the running back got stuffed going outside by the guy who should have had a rear view of the running back scoring. I see defensive backs that seem to be covering phantoms. There is one that I have seen do weird assed shit all season. I just don't understand two db's covering one receiver, one right stride for stride, or trying to, and another db running stride for stride with the receiver but parallel to the receiver but 7 yards away. Like he is covering the receiver's invisible twin!? And someone has pictures of someone with goats. Something, because half of the incomplete passes should be caught. Cowing can't do it all. I won't say a name but there is one player who just must be the all time nicest kid in the world because there has to be better options.
I said I tickled and I am. I started the year hoping with little hope that we wouldn't be the worst team or in the top 5 let's say of football. We are actually pretty darned good. Not great, but pretty good. I am writing about a 7th win that was within our grasp! Seriously, I expectations have been exceeded beyond belief.
