A real positive for us is starting fast and the last two games the offense has started the opening drive of the game with a touchdown.Īnd then middle-eight. I thought special teams, we were more consistent, specifically with how we kicked the ball. In today's college football to say that our offense had 91 plays in the game is really unusual. You combine that with the offense being really efficient. Defensively, we were able to get off the field. As you guys know, some of our veteran starters really only played a handful of plays in the game, which was great. We were able to play 80 players in the game. We went down in both of those categories. For example, early in the season, missed tackles, missed assignments. We talked about getting better specifically in the metrics that we measure and talk about each week. We talked about getting better, the importance of getting better each week, and if we do that we'll like where we are at come the end of the season. Some more notes, just some positives on that game.

I think they were talking about coming out with a new schedule, so we're going to try and reverse psychology and ask to be on road this year and see what happens - this year coming up here. We go to Illinois, which is a tradition around here, opening on the road in the Big Ten. Right now, I think after two games we're averaging 109,661 fans, which is great. In terms of our last game, again, phenomenal crowd, especially when you consider the fact it was a noon game. So we're very, very appreciative of that and don't take it for granted.
We had a number of former players and players' parents that were at the Pentagon, so that memory is burned into my mind, so just wanted to take a minute and recognize that and how fortunate we are for the men and the women and the first responders and people that serve our communities and country. I think a lot of people forget that the Pentagon had got hit as well we don't really talk about that as much.
