Finally got a chance to sit down and write everything I took away from this game.
- First off, what a win. I was exhausted after getting back from the game. Just wow.
- ******* bravo to all the canes fans who went. There were a TON of us there, rocking that **** all game (well, at least the 1st/4th quarters lol)
- Morris definitely has room for improvement. He played well and definitely deserves a game ball for TWO 90+ yard drives in the 4th quarter (the first one was when Weiclaw missed the FG)
- Duke is such a special talent man, he turns nothing into 4 yard gains. Also, he's a great teammate. He's always one of the first guys to congratulate another guy whenever they make a play. P.S., can anyone find a gif of Duke's long KO return where he basically just stops on the sideline and make the 2 tech defenders fall to the ground? lulz
- Mike James had the best game of his career. He had 87 yards rushing, but must have had 50 yards after contact. Dude was on a mission. Plus, 4 TDs speaks for itself...couldnt be happier for the guy
- Was really cool sitting by some of the players' families. Great people all around!
- The refs sucked. We got hosed on a number of plays ("running into the coach?" lol, there were a few PI called on us where the ball wasn't catch-able, etc)
- Speaking of missed calls, the one where Dorsett fielded the punt, turned and ran back into the endzone before heading to the sideline could have been a late hit out of bounds by the punter. I just think the refs felt bad bc Phillip ****ed him up bad lol, the tech players had to carry him back across. Need a gif!
- Did I mention Morris made some huuuuuge plays....
- Golden is just exhausting to watch. Dude is everywhere. The way he handled the injury was epic.
- I knew we'd have the advantage going into OT. We had the momentum (was awesome watching the guys jump around and get hyped right before the OT coin toss) and we weren't tired one ******* bit.
- You could hear Eddie Johnson's hit on Washington from the other end of the stadium. He got blasted.
- Our coverage teams weren't has solid as they have been. Kind of disappointed in that. Although, Clements and Crawford (Dallas) both had good tackles on KO
- Davon Johnson was CLUTCH
- Scott's catch was also clutch. I didn't think there was any way he'd catch that.
- I love it when Chick makes a play. He looks like a **** gorilla when he starts jumping around lol
- The celebration after the game was the most fun I've ever had at a game. It was incredible. Players jumping into the crowd, folks throwing ****, lol it was like a huge party. Chick and coach carroll were the last to leave. They were definitely loving the crowd and were doing all sorts of chants,dances, etc
- The team was FOCUSED all game. You could tell they were having fun, but you could also see that they meant business. I loved how nobody was panicking whenever we were getting rolled in the 2nd and 3rd quarters.
- Clive showed good hands today. Caught some difficult passes. I still want to see Cleveland though
- Offensive line (mainly bunche & seantrel) looks the best I've seen in years. Those guys are huge and athletic looking.
- Eddie Johnson is a truck. Saw him up close and he's ******* huge too
- Dorsett, come on man. Protect the ball a little better and you're golden. Great game though.
- Really liked what Fisch did. He mixed it up really well I thought. Even though we threw the ball a lot (mostly due to being down in the 2nd half), it still seemed like we pounded the rock and never gave up on it.
- Bush, Chick, Green, Johnson, Finnie, McGee had really good games. Came up huge at times.
- Paul, Cornelius, Pierre, Robinson, Smith, Highsmith, Gunther, Gaines, Cain had decent games also. Better than I expected.
- Still have a LOT of work to do on defense, but I'm hopeful that we'll improve week to week.
Overall, best win in years and I was so fortunate/thankful to have gotten the chance to go. Thanks to all the other canes fans who showed up. I know you could just tell the players LOVED seeing that much orange and green in the stands!
Biggest thins is seeing how our guys handle success. We have to stick with the process and play with the same intensity against NC State.
GO CANES!!!!
