First, I'd like to say that the defense played amazing today. Welter actually had an above average game and the secondary played lights out. It was a great day defensively considering we were without our best DL. Definitely one of our best defensive performances all year. The future is extremely bright on this side of the ball.

Offensively, it wasn't as good of a day, but hey what'd y'all expect when we were breaking in a new QB? Jennings played like a true freshman in his first start and is definitely rough around the edges, but everything that I saw today is correctable (and I fully expect CC to correct them). He was hit or miss on his throws, however he did make some nice throws that should have been caught but were dropped. His pocket awareness was bad. He looked like a deer in headlights out there. These definitely weren't the ideal conditions for Jennings' first start. It is what it is but now that he has his first game jitters out I expect him to improve. Hill was stellar as always. The stiff arm on the last TD run to ice the game was amazing. He'll be sorely missed next year assuming he's gone.

Special teams was off the charts today minus the KO return late in the game. Keehn's punting was the best I've seen all year and the punt coverage was all over the return man before he even caught the ball. Hopefully he's finally found his groove.

Overall, this game left a lot to be desired. It should have been a blowout in spite of the weather, but more importantly this game will serve as good film study material for the team heading into the spring. I was impressed by our defense but the offense is still a mystery to me.

I don't recall those.

Good recap. Jennings did look like a deer in the headlights but so did Zach last year. Cam can correct that and I think he will. It's just a matter of the game slowing down for AJ and experience is the only way that's going to happen. Ugly game but something to build on for next year.
