Week 2: San Diego @ UC Davis My observations
- Big improvement in the defense from SJSU. USD is supposed to be talented offensively, but the defense completely shut them down outside of that bad stretch in the 3rd quarter. Rebounded nicely by getting 2 huge interceptions.
- While Ulonzo Gilliam didn't put up huge numbers in term of yards, he still put up 3 TDs which is tough to argue with. Thomas looked very good in limited snaps. I would maybe like to see a more balance number of snaps between them.
- Maier looked really uncomfortable tonight. USD was applying pressure, but Jake was overthrowing/underthrowing receivers tonight like I haven't seen him do before. We need to clean up the passing game going forward. I remember a couple drops that definitely should have been catches.
- What's up with not going to Doss? Tough to tell when watching on tv but was the coverage on him that spectacular? Doss is the bread and butter of our offense and I'm surprised we didn't try to get it to him more considering the offense didn't look fantastic in the first half.
- I'll take the big win over a team that was in the playoffs the last couple seasons, but this game showed we have some things to clean up before we hit big sky competition. Stanford up next and then Idaho. I still think we have a decent chance to start 3-1.
