I re-watched the game last night. It's pretty incredible how we won. To not score in the 2nd half and beat a team that simply doesn't lose at home was unbelievable. I don't know where we go from here, but it was very impressive at times on both sides of the ball. We simply made plays when we had to.
Maybe I haven't been paying close enough attention, but I was shocked how many times Simpson went under center. Was that for crowd noise purposes, or is that something we will be doing going forward? It seemed to work well.
In terms of problems in the game, we called very early timeouts and twice we laid eggs coming out of the timeout. Again, I'm sure crowd noise was the factor, but we have got to start getting the play calls in earlier with all the pre-snap movement we do.
Vanderbilt is going to be a tough out, but I am not worried about us not being focused on this game, and I'm not worried about the offense. Last year, we could not drive the ball, we just relied on big plays. This year is totally different. We can drive the field and expect to do so on every possession. Keep Pavia on the sidelines.
