76-Per the broadcast, at the beginning the lead announcer sounded like he was broadcasting from inside a tin can. That appeared to have been adjusted later in game. As for their announcing "style" I just don't care for it. That's simply a point of personal preference.
Others can address the uniforms, I'm more concerned about the level of play on the field which last night was top notch.
Board was very quiet last night. Guessing (1) folks had other plans going on, (2)a few have already given up and (3) those that were waiting to pounce on Carthel had no opportunity.
I was waiting for us to stumble. Therefore, very little on the board. But I feel like the team that started in Lake Charles, had the finishing kick that I had hoped for.
Northern Colorado is not good. That being said, they almost beat an Abilene Christian team that's solid. I really liked the look of our receivers. We seemed to get open on almost any kind of route. Expected to see a little more screen play. All in all I'd rate the passing game a A- The only thing I didn't see that I wanted to see was a perfectly thrown post pattern.
The running game controlled the pace. I wanted to see more explosives We had the 72 yard run by Jenkins. Other than that I think our longest was 24 yards. B+.
Defense. I'm not going to rate individual units…. Suffice it to say they looked really good across the board. Especially that run stopping up front. Only the one sweep by UNC at the beginning of the 3rd quarter, did we make an obvious mistake. A-
