Opening gargantuous holes, blasting linebackers before they can close on a runner, picking up blitz's, hitting d backs downfield. We might not have college football's most glamorous stars but good god are we fundamentally sound.
Williams, Book with his feet, Tyree he plays, Davis on occasion, Skowronek and McKiinley all made key plays on third down to get the first down and for leaders, Williams again, Book and Tremble, the line. On defense Foskey and finally some from Hayes, Koromoah of course and Hamilton.
So many times he picks up the guy flying in untouched off the edge and springs things. Great job by him and great designs.

He didn't just get in the way of blitzers...he stopped them cold.
This team plays with attitude.

Should we revisit whoever was bitching about lack of NFL talent yesterday afternoon?
Not as much of a standalone, play on the line / run pass routes TE, but more of the H-Back. You're not going to see many teams these days in the NFL (or college) using a pure fullback the way that you had a Tony Page, Tom Rathman, William Floyd, Calwell Gardner, etc., type of player.
If anything, looking at the way the Eagles used Herschel Walker in 1993, was a foreshadowing of things to come. I still think they wasted his talent by not letting him be more of a runner...
The good news is, that most teams have shifted away from using a pure fullback in favor of using H-Backs, and that will pretty much give Tommy Tremble plenty of opportunities to shine in the NFL.

And I think the offense found something last night. Book hung in the pocket and took some shots downfield and had success. I have a feeling Davis has a great back half of the season.
Get Lenzy right and suddenly we may have more than enough big plays in the bank to add in with our run game.
