Wells in not the perfect QB. Montgomery is not the perfect OC. I am not the perfect hardware guy. My guess is anyone reading this is perfect either. GOOD GRIEF, the game was 47-7!! Yes, MSU was terrible. That was the worst beat down I've ever seen vs a MVFC team. In fact, it was among the worst against anybody, and I've seen a lot of them! Can't we find anything positive going into NDSU?
My observations from Saturday are as follows. We have had issues running inside since we changed 3 OL early in the year, but Saturday we did an outstanding job getting around the corner with good ol' "student body right" runs. They may be young up front, but maybe a little more mobile and something to exploit. Especially since our backs lack size, but speed is OK.
Secondly, Hunter is pretty deadly on crossing patterns in the middle, both intermediate and deeper "skinny post" patterns. However, he has a real tendency to float the ball to the outside, setting up several INTs this season. I believe key to next two games is running wide and throwing across the middle.
Thirdly, after the Wolford years, we finally are playing the kind of D that wins games. We don’t have all great players, but we play hard and we play aggressively, and although it isn’t always pretty to watch, it continues to get better. Win or lose Saturday, we are on the right track. We have a lot of good young players and we are improving.
