Figured get this started.

Boards is a lot "quieter" when we win.

Did what NU of old did to teams "we should beat".

A lot of guys git some meaningful snaps. Unsure if it'll pay off this year, but gives depth to build on.

DL is still a work in progress. Better pressure, but it was HCU.

WR room might be the most improved. Best we gave had in a while IMHO. I like how they at least appear to embrace blocking and do a good job. I'll at TE's in here as well. Block well. Lindenmeyer appears to ready to have a great season.

A lot of depth at the skill positions. RB's looked solid.

TJ was a steal. Going to have to pay to keep him. I like what I have seen. Pocket presence, arm speed/touch, mobility, vision etc....Again against non-P4 teams, but he appears to have "it".

ST's....no longer a breath holding liability. Ek has done a great job. Dude can coach. Also saw UT long snapper actually down the punt against UGA. Ek's mentality still there. ST will steal us a game this year.

Now get ready for Michigan.
 
I love it that our offense has been clicking so well. However, I wish our punter could have gotten some more experience on the field the last two games before next weekend.
 
Offense is deep and talented. Going to need some magic to keep TJ come December. Defensive front still looks sus to me. Even with the starters in the first half we needed blitzes to get pressure. Michigans QB scramble ability worries me.

But super happy to see them take care of business like this two weeks in a row. Definitely different feel. Team seems engaged and hungry. Love what Rhule has instilled into the culture. We have the coach we need.

Flying out from Virginia next week for the game with my son. Can’t. Freaking. Wait.

We've had a kickoff out of bounds three weeks in a row, now. Am I the only one who has 2009 Big 12 Championship flashbacks every time?
 
(1) we beat the teams we are expected to beat so far
(2) we can play without committing too many penalties
(3) TJ Lateef might be as good as Riola but definitely faster
(4) key is very promising
(5) the game next week against Michigan will be the true measure of where we are as a program. The first three games we played can be deceiving

Incidentally, Northwestern State (Cinci's opponent today) played Houston Christian in their last game of last season. HCU blasted them 62-24.

Didn't Northwestern St win their first game in like 2 years a couple weeks ago?

Northwestern St is god awful. Minnesota beat them last week 66-0 (and the game was called with 6 mins left after a lightning delay).

Lindsey for Minnesota went 8/9 for 134 yards. Minny’s backup went 4/5 for 80 yards.

I’m confident we could hang 100 on NW St if we played the starters the entire game.
