1. Malik Zaire......... no need to explain this one, but: 19/22, 313 yards, 3 TDs. But more important than the numbers, Zaire looked as poised as a 5th year senior out there. I was VERY impressed with his presence.
2. The Defensive Line.... Sheldon Day, in particular, played incredibly well. He was in the backfield on almost every play, disrupting the offense. The pressure they put on the QB helped a somewhat young secondary to really look like a solid veteran unit.
3. CJ Prosise had a great game (20 carries for 98 yards), but he looked like less than a polished tailback. He got better as the game went along, but the first half he looked pretty awkward on the runs out of the backfield. Hopefully he continues to settle in and be productive. He looks like he could grow into a very good running back.
4. The Offensive Line was outstanding. All night long. A couple of dumb false start penalties, but I would take that performance every week, and be very happy.
5. As good as the team looked tonight, there were still things to improve on. The penalties need to get cleaned up. Malik had a few throws that were behind the receiver, and he could work on cleaning that up a little bit. Punt Return still needs work, obviously. Also, this is a Texas team that went 6-7 last year, so I am not going to get too over the top crazy about what was a great performance tonight. But it sure does feel good.
My game ball goes to Zaire........ He REALLY impressed tonight!
