1. I've decided that I am going to start EVERY "Post Game Observations" thread of mine, no matter how well he plays, with a shout out to Cierre Wood. He is playing excellent football. He's not going to be a serious contender for the Doak Walker Award, but he's absolutely a talented DI-A tailback.
2. WOW..... once again, many of us thought that our hearts would stop, as the Irish snatch defeat from the jaws of victory once again. This team held it together today. They never quit, they didn't hang their heads when things went wrong.....they just went out and played the next play; just like you are supposed to do.
3. Tommy Rees: I've been giving people grief for calling for his benching. I readily admit that he turns the ball over way too much. However, comma; this offense is averaging @27 points a game, with him. Not despite him, but with him. You could argue that, without his turnovers, we could be averaging more. But I would submit that we probably would not be moving the ball as well, and therefore averaging less, without him in the game.
4. Robert F'in Blanton! He had my game ball, even before the great INT at the end.
5. Finally, some bounces go our way! That fumble by GAIII? That ball could not have bounced better.
6. Aaron Lynch has the ability to be a dominant defensive lineman. I'm not saying he WILL be, but he sure looked like he belonged on the field, today. I'm not going overboard about his sack/forced fumble, though. If you look at the replay, the offensive lineman across from him jumped inside, at the snap, and then just kind of "ole-ed" at Lynch, as he went by. You really have to think, though, that he will be something special, if he works hard and learns well.
7. My Game Ball goes to..............the team. I was really impressed with their resilience, in the face of adversity. Again, they never quit!

A bit of catharsis.
