- increased physical running style of Amar Johnson this season
- SDSU being his first visit and immediate commitment afterward
- Maintaining contact with Davis & how he observed Strong's preparation
- Adding 10lbs of muscle and physicality of his running style
- Similarities and differences between his stiff arm and Davis'
- Depth in the RB room
- He focused on similarities between Woods' cutback run vs. Augie and how Amar used to have similar "cutback style" as a freshman
- The TD in OT, Brenner's block, and the unnecessary review
- Appreciation for fan support

- Later noted that Davis' playcalling on first couple drives deviated from 'Yotes' tendencies, which Jimmy attributed at least somewhat to Davis being aware of what Jacks' defense schemed for

- Lally (415)
- Greg Osmundson (435)
