love how we are bringing along

the new receivers. i have a feeling that teams are basically going to have to pick their poison in which reciever they’re going to have to try and stop. i also like how mcgee looked at full speed the other night. he was a step or 2 faster at hitting the holes and showed some good explosion.

McGee and Fozzy looked great and i was really happy to see them do well. But I was wondering if Mizzou’s starting defense was still in at that time? I was under the impression that they did keep their starters in for most of the game, but I wasn’t really paying attention to that stuff…

I looked for number 1..

Moore, IIRC, and he was in there.

Turnovers

I am jazzed by the turnaround in turnovers from last year. I think it speaks to:
1. Colt being so freakin accurate
2. The running backs being coached to hang on to that ball

Amazing the difference it makes!

Watch out, I bite.
