How much of Thursday night...

was due to the extra rest the team had?

They just looked exhausted vs. UNC, but obviously ready to ball against UM. Sometimes R&R is your best buddy when you're tired and banged up.

I think definitely Nesbitt, but the OL looked better, too. Our LB play was improved as well. Some of this is just having played 10 games in the system, but a good bit of it is just being fresher.

The OL just looked quicker to me. How much of that was rest, and how much was another 7 days of practice? The mesh with Dwyer looked very sharp - as sharp as it has all year. Our DB's looked quicker to me. Don't know if we changed anything. We were still giving a cushion in the flats when our LB's were in coverage, but they seemed to close faster. Were we just quicker than UM? They had 7 days rest.
