Seems like Maier is throwing the mid range and deep ball with more confidence and accuracy. The last two touchdowns by Crawford and Vaughn were tight windows. He knows his WR's will make plays. That stood out for me.
It's the same QB and RB, healthy, but kind of a one-trick pony scheme. Take away the dink and dunk. Press coverage. Maybe marginal improvement defensively
It's fair to count Cal as loss. But the NDSU game should be close. The chances of winning that game are roughly the same as losing one of our tough home games. 10-2.
