I think J. Collins started even though Mills was announced. They tried a pass along the sideline that was incomplete with good coverage by him.
J. Mills played mostly after that. They tested him and he did well. I remember a catch on the sideline against him on a roll out. Also what looked like a quick out and up went incomplete but I thought could have been a penalty on him that wasn't called, either way he bit on it and was a little out of position. Overall played well, nothing specatacular either way.

Eugene came a few times and I watched him; he is quick to the ball but really a non factor. Martin didn't play till the very end, surprised he didn't play more. All I can remember from being at the game, haven't watched replay yet.

no. mills took the 1st snap opposite simon. He did ok, but unt really didn't throw much. He should get tested more vs UW

Collins had good coverage everytime he was thrown at, but he still needs to see the ball better.

Martin and Eugene really didn't play much and that was surprising because of how much Les praised both the whole fall. Eugene played a few snaps in dime, on pretty much every 3rd and long, blizting from the inside ala TM. It was interesting that he didn't go in with the 2nd team at SS, thompson was there instead.

Martin didn't play until the 3rd but i'd rather him start vs UW because loston is clearly not 100 %. He was limping the whole game
