Michigan St Game: What Did We Learn?

Are guys actually being happy with an "Oregon State" season? I know I'm not.

The win against Michigan State was great. It felt really good. However, it doesn't take away the losses to BYU, Illinois, Purdue, and Northwestern.

Talent, depth, injuries & players to run the scheme. Its too early to be judgmental. Its not what we wanted, but I think the players & coaches are learning. I was here when the fans wanted TO fired and you know what he did. Can Riley do the same? Maybe maybe not, but lets give him some room to put his team together.

 
IMO, the difference between winning and losing is the attention to detail. No penalties in the 2nd half was key. If we don't have the two ints, we don't need the comeback. It would also be nice if this staff would make power running the foundation of the offense.

It also doesn't take away the fact that one season is not enough to decide whether a coach is going to work or not.

We "learned" it is physically possible to run the ball two/three times in a row and move the chains.

Oh wait, most of us knew that.

Problem is that we know this staff won't consistently stick with it no matter how successfully their running. (see ridiculous drive that ended inside the 10 with 2 pass plays and an INT)

I may have to take my wife to more games. I normally take my son or daughter, but both were busy. It was her first game this year and maybe her 3 in 10 years. I might have to suck it up and use her as a good luck charm! Sorry, we will be out of town for the Iowa game.

Well, we don't care if "you" are out of town! But, the wife has to stay and attend!

I learned that maybe I underestimated the injury element a little when evaluating this team. Our defense is the healthiest it has been all year and we were able to beat a top 10 team.

Either way it is a much better feeling to win a game in the last minute than it is to lose in the last minute.

Stanley Morgan and Dedrick Young are incredibly talented football players. Two of the best true frosh players we've had in a long, long time.
