Fine. I'll start.
1: Gripe if you want but that's way better than losing.
2: I don't know what more to say about Leonard. He's a great runner, tough kid, likeable, but four games into his third season as a major-college QB1 and he's still just missing passes all over the place. I don't know how that gets better, but until it does there's a real ceiling on this team and it's somewhere short of making the playoffs.
3: Which is too bad because our defense is for real. I know it's just Miami of Ohio but aside from one or two drives where they could run, we locked them down. Three points. Fewer than 10 points per game on the season. That's as good as it gets.
4: I've been on the Traore train since he showed up but that kid is a stud. Drayk Bown flashed today too, and Christian Gray. The defense will continue to be good even after the guys who came back for this season are gone.
5: Nice to see the Aussie punter let it loose. Stop aiming shit and just boom them.
6: WTF with special teams otherwise though. Faison I kind of get on his first punt back from being hurt, but we also seem to have a problem executing field goals. Nice that we blocked one of theirs at least.
7: Back to Leonard. It worries me that Freeman seems so committed to doubling down here. Angeli brings a vertical passing game. Minchey and Carr are also talented. We should at least try to work them in to keep defenses on their toes. I do believe Leonard opens up our running game but is Freeman so conservative that he'll focus on that at the expense of any downfield passing threat? That might win us nine games but it won't beat USC or anyone in the playoffs, and gives zero margin for error even against tougher outs like Louisville and Ga. Tech.
8: Beaux Collins is low key our best WR since... ?
9: Enjoy Jeremiyah Love while we have him. Like Audric and Kyren before, he'll be gone too soon.
10: That said, Amil Wagner should absolutely be credited with a touchdown.
11: Next week? I think we win, in hideous fashion. 17-14 or something like that. Just a rock fight. That's fine this team is built for rock fights. It's clearly Freeman's way. For better or worse.
