The bad:
 1. The DL still can't pass rush

It wasn't always the DL but 5 sacks is quite impressive!

The 4th down call wasn't the best, but maybe it is Fitz's "tribute to 
GB" play.  In '98 vs. Iowa we had 4th and inches.  A toss sweep was 
called and it lost 3 yards.  GB's comments after the game laid it on 
the OC with something to the effect of I don't know what they called.  
At a critical juncture in the game on 4th down the head coach should 
either be involved in the decision making or if not take complete 
responsibility and not pass it off on an underling.

The long pass was unfortunate, but I have confidence that Marquice 
would have tipped it or intercepted that pass 9 times out of 10.  He 
had awesome "blanket" coverage, but it just did not go our way.

Our running game was inconsisent if it weren't for the QB, but looking 
at the yards per carry it is hard to bash 4.8 and 5.5 from Sutton and 
Jordan respectively.

Kafka did as well or better than I expected.

It was not a work of art, but we have 2 more tune-up games before we 
head to Reno for the next big test.
