Positives:
- Special teams were pretty good. This was a huge concern, and it apears better than expected.
- Hamilton will not throw away his shot. He is legit, and with Gilman, they will cover some of our green LB's learning curve.
- WR is fine - Claypool is the stud we knew he was and Our 3rd receiver looked good (esp Lenzy) even though the QB didn't see them often and threw behind them.
- RB is fine - Smith is fabulous and we have depth.
- OL looked good overall though back up guards whiffed a few times on blitzes
-TE is fine - our back ups are good though for Georgia and Michigan, we will benefit if Kmet is back
Negatives that are not easily correctable:
- LB arm tackling - atrocious tackling imo. - if it wasn't fixed in Spring and Fall camp, will it be done in the next 2 weeks before Georgia?
- Book doesn't appear to be much more of a deep threat than last year- a problem against the big boys.
- 3rd and 2 in red zone while averaging 10ypc, coach calls shotgun snap with RB positioned to side of QB in an attempt to fake out D that he is going to pass block - then hands it to said RB who has no running start (You could also call this bullet point "Freaking Kelly!")
