Most blatant and dumbest hold I’ve ever seen.
Ugh. And then a sack.

And a fumbled hand off. Fudge.

<p>OK, let's chuck the read option with Mills, and have him run a straight bootleg off a run fake to get the game sealing first down.</p><p><br></p>

<p>Averaged 5 yards per play to NW's 3.5, so in no way a flukey win despite all the strageness + injury in the game</p>

<p>Defense looked good, keeping a bowl team to 212 yards total, and just 7 points. Plus the 4 LARGE Turnovers. </p><p><br></p><p>But Offense is not going to keep pace with Oregon and WASH, especially if Walker Little is out. </p><p>We tried to close it down with the Run game in Q4, and could not nail it down. </p><p>U$C is a question mark mentally even though they have skill players. </p><p>UCF will bring speed and uptempo offense also. </p><p>Then Oregon. No letup in the schedule. </p><p><br></p><p>Beavers do not have much of a Defense, but can throw the ball with Luton. </p><p>Then WASH, who looked in MID-Season form with Eason. He looks better than Browning. </p>

<p>In the post-game press conf., Shaw indicated that he hoped Booker would be healthy going forward. Was he injured in the game?</p>

<p>Well, just another lovely, pleasant afternoon in the Wok, eh? I think I was in my sunny-side seat for all of ten minutes.</p><p><br></p><p>There must be an awful lot of shell casings down on that field; both teams shot themselves in the foot seemingly every drive.</p><p><br></p><p>Just before the half, I looked at TOP and we were ahead, 23:00 to 4:30. With 7 points to show for it.</p><p><br></p><p>The good: D was surprisingly strong, nice plays from newcomers like Miezan and JM-F, and NU's offensive braintrust kept throwing at Adebo's man on key downs. Wedington seems a step quicker this year, as do Scarlett and Maddox. Fehoko is the real deal.</p><p><br></p><p>The bad: how many penalties on key plays, how many fumbles? Yes, Mills throws a nice tight spiral but it was hard to tell if the misses were blown patterns or just...misses. We miss Bailey already; let's hope Sanborn shows us better leg next time out.</p><p><br></p><p>The ugly: the injuries to KJ and Little, of course. And ironically, if KJ slides a half-second sooner, we don't get the 15 yards on the late hit and field position for the FG which was the cushion for the whole second half. </p><p><br></p><p>Glad we got past this, but based on limited sample size I kinda think these two schools should be banned from playing each other and producing such an awful sight on the field.</p><p><br></p><p>Conventional wisdom says the biggest improvement is from Week 1 to Week 2. Let's hope so. </p><p><br></p><p>Note to NU: Trent Green's kid should be starting. You could have won this one.</p><p><br></p><p>Note to Stanford: when it's 89 degrees at kickoff, please don't hassle people who bring in unopened 25-oz water bottles purchased at the airport. If it's good enough for TSA, it's good enough for you.</p>
