[NU Sports] First half thoughts ...

[SjT (Stephen J. Truog)]

I wish we had another TD, but overall, not a bad start
to the half. Some thoughts ...

* CJ looks ***sharp*** - he's in midyear form already
and that first drive was perfection and spreading the
ball around.

* Special teams - WHOA! Touchbacks!! Opponent drives
starting inside the 30!! NICE! Not too bad on punts
either. Returns could use some work.

* I'm liking our secondary's attitude this year ...
they're hitting hard, they're pumping the D up and
every time I see a pass, they're right there. No more
cushions! I actually thought we could have been
flagged for interference a couple times ... but hey,
push the limits until they flag you, right?

* Also, Tyrell's thighs look HUGE - he must have done
a ton of squats this summer. Nice power ... now he
needs to keep his balance - he was a shoestring from a
couple touchdowns.

On the down side, we should have more rushing yards -
our O-line needs Rees back next week. And I want to
see some more defensive pressure.

But overall, a good start. Let's keep it up in the
second half! And watching Fitz' pregame talk had me
fired up - GO CATS!!!

Around the league ...

* PSU and OSU look solid
* MSU is surprising me with their offensive openness
* And what the heck is happening in ANN ARBOR?!?!?!
Lloyd may be retiring earlier than expected if they
don't wake up soon.

What a glorious Saturday!
GO CATS!!!
