1. Sad to see so much orange at BDS, I think it was around 15-18,000. The crowd was loud though and for the most part the Clemson fans had nothing to cheer about.
2. The QB: Taylor didn't have an outstanding performance from a stats point of view but he did make some nice throws and had 4 big drops that would of made the stats look better, anyway you spin it, hes not playing poorly we aren't throwing much and the receivers need to step up and make some plays. He did have some nice audibles out of plays that ended up being big gains for Tashard.
3. I was surprised to see Dwyer in a limited role, I asked a few people about it this morning after getting many pm's from a lot of you asking if he was injured. He is not, they just thought Tashard was playing one of his best games and wanted him to keep it going. Rashaun also came in and played well. I expect to see more of Jon this week at Maryland.
4. Nesbitt played but not as much as I thought he would of as much as I was lead to believe. They scripted before the game to hopefully give him 3 drives but after he looked so uncomfortable that first drive they decided to shut that idea down. He will get more reps at practice this week and they plan to give him some more time.
5.WR: These guys need to step up, Thomas, Smith, JJ they all need to play better. Earls is still a few weeks away from coming back. Donley will be on the field more this week, we have to find some consistency hopefully he can prove that.
6. We do have a few players playing hurt, not just dinged up but seriously hurt. They want to play and wont take no as an answer. I cannot discuss the specific injuries but one is a LB and the other is an Evans.
7. Cord might of sealed the starting RT spot, should know more later in the week. Dunmon saw some time and maybe closer then some think to supplanting a starter soon.
8. AT Barnes just sealed up the starting LB spot, he looked good out there and its good to see. He's a good kid and has a ton of potential hes been here awhile and never gave up.
9. Mr. Word Daniels, that boy put some licks on some guys Saturday, its good to have him back. Look for him to chase Heyward-Bey around Saturday much like he did with Kelly for Clemson.
10. Morgan Burnett, kid is a stud, he might be our next All-American someday, he is helping out the secondary tremendously.
11. D-Line played a good ball game, stuffing the holes and stopping that great ground attack. Elris had a great game and that is good to see. Good to see Derrick Morgan get some solid time and contribute too.
12. Travis Bell is having a hell of a season.
13. This was a big recruiting weekend. Thompson may actually be deciding this week now I heard. The visit went well and Derrick Moore is our biggest selling point for him and his family. The win over who were up against didn't hurt. Leslie and Munroe had great visits and committed. Cordian Hagans a LSU commit was on hand but we are not pursuing him. Many of the commits were there to help with Thompson. Uzzi and Page were there and I've heard Page had a great visit. Our remaining OL/DL recruits seem to include: Uzzi, Thompson, Page, Shaw, Barnes, and Wokomaty. We are also still in the mix for T'sharvan Bell a shutdown corner. Liuget is starting to look like a possibility as well.
14. As for the Terps they are starting a new QB. He looked good the other night but starting against Tenuta's D isn't an easy task for a young QB. We will probably blitz as much as we did at ND. Keys to the game are getting to Turner, containing Heyward-bey, and giving them a healthy dose of Deuce. I think we will definitely pass more then the 15 times we did last week. Time of possession will be a key factor in this game and I believe Maryland is #1 in the country in that category.
15. Last note, Coach Kelly is doing a fantastic job with special teams. Players seem to be in a good mood today which is a given, hopefully this will continue and we get back on that winning track, this team is capable of winning out they have to get better in the passing game and mental errors though for that to happen. We had way too many penalties Saturday.
Hopefully everyone had a lovely weekend and is enjoying their first day back at work, it is alway better to come in on a Monday after a win. This place sucks the life out of you after a loss.
