Watching the WVU-Cuse Replay

I am fortunate enough to have FCS Atlantic here in Columbus. This allows me the opportunity to watch the Rich Rod press conference as well as the MSN replay of every game. I will not even pretend that I watched these last week. I am not a masochist.

Here are some things I've noticed that I perhaps didn't pay much attention to while screaming at the TV on Saturday.

1. I knew our defense played pretty well, but they were absolutely flying to the ball. We really put the hits on too. I know, SU's offense sucks, but we still took it to them.

2. Pat White threw the ball downfield and looked alright doing it. I still have a complaint about his lack of touch, but his mid-range to long-range throws are tight.

3. Steve Slaton ran HARD. I haven't seen him blast people and look for contact like this since the Maryland game. He was delivering some serious blows. Sadly, he wasn't all that involved. WHY!?!?

4. Noel Devine is going to be incredible. I hope that he stays on the right track at WVU, he seems like a good kid that just had a troubled childhood for reasons beyond his control. I really hope that's the case, because he's going to be a fucking star.

5. Reynaud, as usual, is the shit. I've been saying for 2 years that he's our best all-around athlete, and I still believe that. He's fast, strong, and has insane moves. I love watching him with the ball.

6. Rich's playcalling is still garbage. I understand it didn't need to be creative for this game, but it's just one more in a long line of games that have poop playcalling.

7. What the fuck is our kickoff team doing? We're going to get fucked one of these days on a long return at a seriously inopportune time.

8. Owen Schmitt. What needs to be said?

9. Jarrett Brown is damn, damn good. He's big and strong, very fast, and has a cannon for an arm. That play he flicked a 40 yard pass to Lyons that was almost caught? Amazing.

10. Wes Lyons. THANK YOU FOR USING HIM!!! He made a great play on the deflected pass, and was a consistent menace to the secondary. It's about fucking time.

All in all I think we looked good, but not great. Basically, it's just the vanilla offense that holds us back, and not using Slaton much. He is amazing, but I feel like we're wasting him this year.
