I have to say, I’m shocked that we’re 5-1. I honestly thought we were just riding this season out to get through the coach’s contract. But I’m starting to really enjoy what this team brings to the field.
They do the things I love to see in a football team: they fight for extra yards without turning the ball over. Sure, they get some questionable calls against them, but even the penalties they do earn—I can live with. They catch the ball when it’s reasonable to expect a catch. And we’re making field goals! That’s such a luxury. I used to hope we’d go for it on 4th down because I was pretty sure our kicker would miss. Not this year.
Every couch coach wishes for different play calls, but overall, I can live with the decisions. I’m not a fan of the bend-don’t-break defense—I wish they’d play that way on first and second down, then clamp down hard on third. See? Couch coaching in real time.
I think we have to give the coaching staff a lot of credit. But I’m still frustrated with the administration for turning our home game against Nebraska into an away game. That was a winnable matchup. We could be 6-0 right now.
Lets go Cats
