I am going to temper my enthusiasm because of the low quality opponent, but Chryst was throwing dimes and we dominated on both sides of the line especially in H2 when we got our defensive captain back.

Remember that before the game the line was that we wouldn't be able to run on them and Chryst would have to beat them with arm. The first part wasn't true, but Chryst sure did beat them with his arm. Also worth noting that by S&P+ their defense is ranked #60, and that's after we demolished them. So they're not an excellent team, sure, but it's not like we're talking about Rice (#124).

The team that showed up Saturday night was a bad team. Not as bad as Rice, but of the caliber of some of the teams Chryst played well against last season. Also, that D ranking was in part built when their starting QB was in and they were putting points on the board and keeping the D off the field
