1. Team was ready to play on a short week. Incredible when this team has 71 Freshmen or Sophomore on it. This staff won 2 games in 11 days with a young team. Say what you will, that is impressive.
2. Offense moved the ball, but Hall went conservative in the 2nd half. With a defense like USM has that is understandable. However, they can't keep leaning on them. They will wear down.
3. O-Line played much better last night. Pass pro was good and Wilcke had time to throw the ball.
4. They didn't overuse the superback too much. They used it when needed and not on every down. It is much more effective that way.
5. The secondary is still giving up chunk plays. This defense is aggressive and that leads to one on one matchups in the secondary.
6. Special teams are a weapon and USM uses them well.
7. The Golden Eagles just need one more win to become bowl eligible. However, there is still much more to play for. A few things fall the Golden Eagle's way and who knows what may happen in this last part of the season.
