[NU Sports] The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

[Kaplan, Neil]

I noticed the enormous impact of the new clock rules.

Now our game was unusual given only a small # of incomplete passes, but the
game lasted no more than 2:35.

I'd say the clock rules took 10-15% of playing time away.  Did not like this
at all.

Am guessing lots of press on this in next few weeks.

============================================
> The bad:
>  1. The DL still can't pass rush
5 Sacks, 6 TFL, two and 3 DL in the QB's face?

>  2. The OL did not run-block well in the first half
5 against 8 is no measure of run blocking...

>  3. Punting ran hot and cold
Larsheid's performance was overwhelmed by Miami's punter's performance. We
actually had more yards punting than they did.

>  4. Running game went nowhere in the first half (see 2 above) 
8 men in the box and only Herbert and TS caught a pass early. Maybe our WR's
were not where Kafka thought they should be? Anyway, Miami came in to stop
Sutton and they almost did...

>  5. Did Kim Thompson play?
Thompson has a broken foot, out for 6 weeks.

  6. We didn't win 44 - 0.  That 
> would have been a statement.
Beating Miami for the first time in 48 years in their house is a pretty good
statement from where I sit. Holding them to only 3 points is an even bigger
one.
