- Always good to dominate the teams you are supposed to dominate.
- Ran some nice-looking plays even if the team looked shaky on a couple of drives.
- Good to see the young kids get some reps.
- Outstanding individual performance out of [just about any player you can name].
- Great efforts from [defense/offense/special teams].
- Coaches did a good job managing the game.
The problem with games against division II teams is they aren't indicative of future performance. Unfortunately, the only thing from Saturday that will have an impact on the team is Bowers' injury. I wouldn't be surprised if he's out at least 2-3 weeks from recent reports. The good news: DE is about the deepest and most talented spot on the roster, and while there's really no replacing Bowers, the dropoff in talent won't be enough by itself to affect any single game outcome. That being said, here's hoping he's 100% in time for the USuCk game.
The only other thing I'd comment on: put me in the camp that was glad to see Spiller get such limited action, Heisman hopes notwithstanding. As long as Spiller was fine with the decision, there's nothing but wisdom behind having a guy who means so much to a team take it easy in a next-to-meaningless game. Now let's see him play every down against FSU.
