1) I liked the outside/off-tackle runs w/ Lattimore. Something that many here have been asking for for some time.
2) Shaw took a few unfortunate sacks early, but did a great job eliminating those plays as game progressed.
3) Damiere's fumble on our 2nd possession really upset me. That was a conservative play-call. Gotta hold onto that ball.
4) Again, Clowney and Devin were better than stats showed, in my opinion. They are going to tee off on a QB one of these days... here's hoping it's Erin Murray. Or Mettenberger. Or Tyler Wilson. Or all of the above!
5) Devin was one step away from a pick 6 in the first quarter. Loved dropping him back into coverage in the flat.
6) You could tell on CBS... it is LOUD in W-B. I thought it was loud there for sure. Glad to hear it came through in the broadcast. I wish they would show our entrance. In fact, a few times on offense, Connor motioned for the crowd to quiet down.
7) Shaw looked SOOO good. Passing, running, man... that dude looked GREAT. That lefty push pass was EPIC. What a baller. That is what we all loved about Garcia, and I like seeing Shaw incorporate some of that into his game as he takes advantage of opportunities.
8) Missouri is really, REALLY bad at tackling.
9) Shaw was masterful at taking what the defense gave him. The underneath routes in the Cover 2 wouldn't have been so effective if Missouri's first defender could tackle.
10) Two false starts on the drive that eventually stalled at the 2 yard line. Shaw took a few unnecessary hits too. However, at other times they protected him very well. I'm seeing progress from the line. Hope it continues.
11) Goofy play-call on running Shaw twice inside the 5yd line. I can see the first time. Maybe HBC thought they wouldn't expect the second time.
12) Mizzou's 80 yard march right before halftime could have changed the momentum completely if our D hadn't stood up... and then Bruce had a big return and Connor and Ace hooked up for 6.
SECOND HALF:
13) The "rabbit package" worked really well. Sacks, pressures, flushed Franklin out of the pocket... I'm surprised you didn't see Mizzou bring in a TE to help w/ Clowney off the edge.
14) Loved seeing Lattimore so involved in the passing game. I'm very happy to see the coaches finding a way to get their best playmakers the ball.
15) Playcalling was quicker, Connor didn't seem frantic to get the ball snapped before the play clock ran out. I liked seeing the more creative game plan and playcalling. Makes up for the more "vanilla" game plans to this point. Can't wait to see what they roll out for the stretch run!
16) Great play for the TD throw to Buster. Two TE set, Justice and Buster. Safety bit down to help on field side (where Connor was rolling) and left Buster open in a hole in the zone. That sort of thing is what we had in mind with the quality of TEs we knew we had.
17) From what I could see, our back 7 tackled VERY well. Nearly nothing missed. Felt like Shaq and Bowens were everywhere.
18) I really was keen to see Connor come out after the end of the 3rd quarter while the game was underway. Nothing to gain anymore, and a lot to lose if he goes down in mop-up duty. Was glad when Dylan came in.
19) Our punting game looked much improved.
