Re: Southern Illinois Game Thread
The good things from the first half:
We can move the ball. Minnet is really running hard. That will only get better in the 2nd half. All the talk coming into the game was about their linebackers. We're making them look really average right now.
D: Besides the 3 really, really, really dumb penalties, we've played well. 2 big plays (screen to Warner and bomb for the TD) otherwise we're doing ok. Our d-line is getting pressure. If the linebackers can make some tackles we'll be ok. We need a couple quick 3 and outs to set a tone in the 2nd half.
Spec Teams: Our returns have only looked bad when compared to the SIU returns. We had a really nice punt return and the last KO return was one move away from going a long way. On coverage - the good news it can't get much worse...and we had nice punt coverage the one time we punted.
