Stream of consciousness

Todd Graham not rocking as many arm bands this year, opting for a collection of stylish wristbands, could be something to look out for. No more boy band mic either...

Offense
Sideline to sideline
holds the mesh a long time on the read option (similar to Dennis Dixon)
Hot heads
First drive didn't throw a pass beyond the line of scrimmage.
First 2 deep pass attempts are out of bounds on the sideline
Manny will probably get a big run or 2 on us but he hands off most of the time.
Still no deep passes
Struggles with pressure
Center started bad
Can't handle pressure up the middle, lots of pressure and a blocked punt
Ugly deep pass down the sideline
Oh man, 9 yard pass on target. Only took 1.5 quarters
Sparky up the middle... and again...and again
Wheel route has been wide open 2x, make that 3
I'm glad our defense practices against Royce, they will be ready for their big back
Another deep pass way off target
Completed a deep pass but it was ugly, completed due to blown coverage
They are difficult to stop when they get in the 5
Finally a deep pass with accuracy
No pressure, 10 yard overthrow down the middle
Wilkins really floats his passes and forces throws in the clutch


Defense
doesn't tackle well, really bad...
don't seem to cover very well either.
Unsure of themselves
Not good sideline to sideline (hope we don't force it up the middle)
So bad at tackling, like they don't even try to wrap up
So.Many.Missed.Tackles
Not good at play action
Have I mentioned they are bad at tackling?
They may not be good, but they are chippy
Bryant is not a very good corner, making this tall slow receiver look like Randy Moss
They don't seem great at handling tempo but it doesn't seem worth running it on them
They are going to struggle with our running game


Misc
Way more athletic than Wyoming, not sure if they are any more athletic than nebraska.
Funny to see ASU run the "alabama offense" without the athletes of alabama.
If we get a rhythm, they won't be able to stop our offense
TT defense gave ASU 7 points and their offense gave up 7 points in the first half.
The titles of these sports talk shows are getting absurd
Honestly not sure how they managed as many points as they got
ASU finished strong
This game felt like a shootout but it took them an entire game to score what we average in a half...weird
If our defense gets their head around, I think we will get a few picks
