I wouldn't go with "well done" overall -- seems a bit strong. The defense did well, of course. It's fair to say they've far outpaced expectations (mine, at least) through the first three games of the season.
The offense was mediocre overall, just over 5.2 yards per play. Of course, it seemed like the players were having a case of the blues through the first few drives. It wasn't obvious to me there were strategic problems; instead, it just seemed like there were a number of errors, mostly uncharacteristic. Too early a game? On a emotional low because of the big game against SC? Just one of those games? Maybe all those things. In isolation I wouldn't necessarily be disturbed. Then again, the offense has had one solid game (against SDSU), one solid half (against SC), and one pretty blah game considering the quality of opposition (i.e. Davis). I'm a bit uneasy with the offense, viewing things in totality.
Positives: Michael Wilson looks like a player; same for Trevor Speights; and Adebo.
Sorry for the confusion. My "well done overall" comment was directed at the 2nd and 3rd stringers thrown in there to get some PT. Totally agree that we can (and need to) play better the next two weekends. But I am happy that we're 3-0.
