COLLEGE FOOTBALL 2011

[JUISSD]

Oh definitely. They've exceeded my expectations for sure. Any Saturday can be an upset in college football though. They should handle Northwestern but I wouldn't be devastated if they didn't, just disappointed.

Yep no turn overs and few penalties are the key.

Well when you run the ball as well as they are you can understand why the passing yardage is down. We've had 3 games in a row over 300 yards rushing. You can see how that can hurt your passing yardage. When we need to, we will. i.e. Notre Dame. About 95 yards in 28 seconds.

True... I guess if you don't have to pass then don't! Less interceptions that way

Remember, when you throw a pass, three things can happen and two of them are bad.

Like they already said with the running game we have we haven't needed to throw the ball. HOWEVER, when we face faster, more athletic defenses that can stack the box and contain our running game, Denard will have to step up and make those big throws to loosen the defense back up. If he can't make good defenses respect his arm we will get beaten. Denard's passing has been lackluster but that's part of learning Borges' new offensive system. He's adapting and Borges is adapting to what Denard is comfortable with. Last week was a big improvement in Denard's timing and comfort throwing the ball, even though it was against inferior competition. It was still a nice confidence booster and is yet another key piece to the big puzzle. I like what I'm seeing so far as I think they've come a LONG way in a short time.

AND it is amazing how far the defense has come. Night and day difference from last year. Give us a good defense last year and they would have rolled.
