Going to beat the dead horse here but I don’t see how you come away from this game with anything other than an optimistic outlook on the rest of the season.
I’ve said that I think MT will have the best defense in CUSA, and I’ll gladly double down on that after watching them last night.
The offense is clearly a work in progress and will be through the Iowa game. No idea why Cunningham was subbed in and no idea where Johnson was (never even saw him on the sideline). I think Dobson will be a focal point all year. As soon as he came in for the second half they tried several ways to get him going. Still need to see O’Hara actually sling the ball around down the field. Last night was very dink and dunk but the playbook was also barely cracked open, and for good reason. What I do know is the kid is a gamer and a warrior and, for now, is the clear #1 QB.
Was most impressed by the fight in the team. The stage wasn’t too big and they seemed to play loose all night. If anything Michigan was more frustrated at times, hence why Harbough made the switch to McCaffrey.
Again, overall you have to feel good coming out of this game. TSU can’t be discounted though. Need to win and get that feeling back. Duke is a very winnable game if they get right.
