Me too, especially when I missed half of first quarter because Pittsburgh station stayed with Army-Wake game.

Another game where we should be up big, but are up 4.

Wow, lol. I'm happy to have the game on TV here, had to go to the bar last week.

I enjoyed all the times the announcers kept pointing out we can win the division and could be the team to beat. Love this staff, McGloin looks like a completely different QB, Robinson is the best WR we've had in years (no offense to Deon Butler, but this kid has the size, speed and is so smooth running routes), The TE's are actually a factor again and the defense has really improved. Very happy to see Mike Hull making an impact.

I thought we looked good with the exception of two spots. The first being our offensive line, they seemed to have a rough go at it and relied on committing holds when they were losing their guy. They got lucky that there weren't alot more holding calls thrown our way from what I could see. Secondly our secondary had some problems that if their QB and receivers weren't having problems would have torn us apart for at least 2 TDs, potentially turning this into a loss. I haven't heard anything on Amos since he got messed up with that hard hit. It he is out of the picture for a game or more, it is going to hurt bad.

Donovan smith cures a lot of the OL woes. He's a special talent at tackle.

 

[AlistairChiss]

Agreed, he makes a big difference. It just worries me down the stretch as the players experience wear and tear without alot of solid depth.

A lot of young guys gaining valuable experience, I think they continue to get better. Skill there, need to get better on assignments

Barnes and Mauti,

Barnes and Mauti,

you have to feel good for Mauti and Zordich. Both are playing very well and have poured their heart and soul to keeping this team together during the "recruiting" by other schools. Barnes is coming into his own. Massaro sounds like he's never going to be the same, so Barnes is huge for us. Hull has been very impressive too, we need Hodges to step up for B1G play.
