Well I said if Plummer were to start performing like his reputation, we might have a chance. It helped when Brohm got Thrash more touches and that jump started the offense. We are stacked at WR.
The defense rebounded tremendously after that horrible 2nd quarter. There were all kinds of names making plays that weren't talked about that much during the summer.
That sack and fumble by Tell was the key to the victory. That turned the game.
So now that the first game is over, I have much the same outlook I had if there's no more poor play like that from Plummer. This team is loaded at receiver and have three great backs. Plummer was rarely harassed so the OL held up.
Brohm didn't go crazy with mis direction or trick plays, but you could see the difference from the past few years.
Defense has a lot of depth and potential and I think Ron English is fine as DC. We can't blame a coach every time things don't go right. I think the guys were shocked at that 2nd quarter. Momentum as we all know is real and GT took advantage. But adjustments were made and they shut down GT in the 2nd half. Are we to give credit to Coach English for that?
One more thing, GT had some impressive receivers and we all know of Cooley's potential. If their QB performs like that 2nd quarter, GT will surprise some teams.
