As a Les fan until the bitter end, I always understood the criticism while recognizing how great he was in so many other ways. Last night was a perfect example of how we played under Les thru Guice's second TD. At that point it was 24-10 and Les would have literally slammed the brakes and maybe not have passed another down. It was why we had games like EMU last year.

But last night, it was precisely at this moment that O and Ensminger really opened up. I think Etling had 200 of his 276 after that point. And while under Les we would have won 31-13 or something like that, it's not so much the result as it is getting Danny feeling so much more confident and getting Malachi and Dural involved when they really hadn't done anything to that point.

We are in a great position mentally entering the meat of the schedule. I look forward to the next six weeks.

I loved seeing us air it out after getting up by 14. O dropped the hammer on them, no way in hell miles is working on the passing game with 8 mins left in a game.

I've been screaming for a play action bomb after a turn over for YEARS!!!! I was liberating to finally see it happen

There certainly appeared to be a lack of killer instinct in the past. We also rarely seemed to capitalize on turn overs. Jamal Adams was quoted in the Advocate saying it was nice to see the offense socre after the defense got a turn over. That really is how you put opponents away.

Finally a less man admitting he (Miles) screwed up.

Exactly: experience=confidence=success in big games. If you don't do it in little games you can't in big ones!

step on a team's throat and stay on it

It also gives Etling and receivers more reps. It helps them feel more confident with game time experience.

Just wait for Choctaw to come and tell you that the reps that Danny and the wide receivers got during those last 200 yards passing in game time situation was useless and that the real practice is done during the week against Aranda's first team defense in practice.
