Brackett was generally on target but is obviously under orders to slide and avoid hard hits. I liked McDonagh's poise and think he will continue to get into the rotation. Garrett ran hard despite the fact that he wasn't getting much help,from the OL. I thought we did a good job on time of possession with the short to mid range passing game. Silvia did a nice job on lead blocking and taking passes out of the backfield. I think we need to get bigger and stronger on the OL, where we will have everybody but Ward back. The front seven played bend but don't break against a pretty good Yale OL and a beast of a running back. Next week we have to come out by spreading the field. I don't think that anybody can cover all of our WRs if Brackett can get some blocking. oldlionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242868168620796807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-23672637728996337732012-10-27T23:24:18.994-07:002012-10-27T23:24:18.994-07:00This was a strange game as they always are when a ...This was a strange game as they always are when a safety takes place. There were great individual efforts especially by Brackett and the WRs. There were also some deficits but let's not dwell on that during the celebration!<br /><br />An interesting aspect of the game was Yale's playing essentially a single wing offense with Vargas as tailback. Some of you older gentlemen may recall when the Baltimore Colts I believe got to the NFL semi-final game without an official quarterback, and running back Tom Matte did great as a stand in. Vargas was an incredible player today and it was kind of tragic when he made that fumble at the end. But CU definitely deserves some breaks at long last, and they did a great job of taking advantage of this. "When you're losing play like you're winning.

A total team victory for sure, but plenty of outstanding performances including those of the wide receivers, Connor Nelligan, Chris Connors and Jake Wanamaker who caught everything that came their way and then fought for additional yardage. Also, the long kickoff return by the freshman Travis Reim at the end of the game set the stage for the Lions final rush.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-6322341314012877652012-10-27T20:19:04.359-07:002012-10-27T20:19:04.359-07:00Our linebacker, Mike Waller, made a very smart pla...Our linebacker, Mike Waller, made a very smart play late in the game by knocking the football out of Varga's arms when the Yale running back refused to go down despite being tackled by a number of Lions.

Bend but don't break defense, and the courage to come back after a few bad breaks in which we either didn't punch the ball in from inside the five or until the winning drive did not capitalize on turnovers. I liked the way that McDonagh was worked into the rotation and think he will be a player.oldlionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242868168620796807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-40708351715641277002012-10-27T13:14:49.019-07:002012-10-27T13:14:49.019-07:00We did not control the run, but won.
