1. I agree on the Oline....no motion penalties or crushing holding calls. I think the only penalty was illegal man downfield on Mincey. I personally thought Mincey/Farmer were fantastic on right side.
2. UK was handling the LOS....So Miss had no shot to run the ball. It was throwing was their only option.
3. Rayner is the best kicker since MacGinnis. He simply hits and right down the middle.
4. I agree on RB....Demi was solid but we need Traynum to be our bell cow back and sprinkle in the other ones.
5. I was really impressed with our interior Lber.....Dumas got a pick (and he brings a thump when he hits) and Deryck got a tip pass that led to Int for JQ. We have 2 rock soilid LBer inside to lead this unit.
6. Dingle was blocker a ton better....glad to see him come back and work on this aspect of his game.....we're going to have a great TE room this year.
7. Brock looks very good throwing on the move and when the play breaks down.....but in pocket...he can stare down receivers and threw pick and one more should have been. But all in all, we've got a competitive SEC QB.....with the potential to be top notch SEC QB. Kid is physical and tough runner....i see UK as a nightmare in short yardage situations if Traynum gets back.
All in all, Stoops deserves a ton of credit. Getting Brock at QB, plugged two holes in Oline, much needed WR in Maclin/Farrier to supplement Brown/Key, another bully RB in Traynum, Dumas Johnson to plug in for Trevin Wallace. The schedule is a bear...but this will be a better team than last year....it's pretty obvious to me.
