I just watched the game again and had some observations.
1. Sarell and Little looked very good at the tackles. Sarell had a couple of plays where he lost his balance, but they both have excellent pass blocking technique and are imposing on defenders. And, they run block like bulldozers. I've got to believe that they will be starting with Herbig and Fanaika before long. I'm really stoked about our O line this season.
2. Robinson did not have a good performance, despite the praise he received from the announcers. He failed to contain on several plays.
3. Burns was not bad. I still worry about his ability to go through his progressions while avoiding the pass rush. When he is not rushed, he can make good throws like his TD pass. However, too often he seems to be oblivious to oncoming rushers.
4. Costello was poised and made good decisions. I was impressed when he was able to get rid of the ball when an untouched defender came right up the middle. Burns took a sack in a nearly identical situation. Costello made some very good throws into tight coverage. BTW, IB-Sims made a great block on two defenders to help KJC score on that running TD.
5. Veach almost single handedly cost Stanford the shutout. No worries though. I'm glad he got some playing time. ;D
6. Williams is way behind Marx at FB.
7. Never surrender the cannon trigger rope your opponents mascot. :o
