* I feel increasingly good that we had such a poor day on offense. Because it seems to me that the entire O staff and players will be laser focused on dissecting every single play from the Cal game and “figurin’ it out”. I believe that process is going to lead to maybe our best offensive game of the season so far, against next opponent Syracuse.
* Even though there is plenty of room for national poll voters to doubt us due to the close score and the egg our O laid in the Cal game, we STILL moved up in all the polls. We’re attracting some national notice, ‘Lairmen!
* Saturday probably gave OC Bell a jolt. HCPN reports Bell is a hard worker. I bet he doubles down on prep and planning for Syracuse.
* Despite having his worst game Saturday, Eli displayed calm confidence while freely accepting responsibility in the post game interview. My bet is he puts aside all self doubt and executes especially well against Syracuse.
* how many touches will it take Rodney to get untracked?
* As a fan, I usually hate off weeks. But not this time. We’ve got some stuff to fix and I’m grateful for the extra days.
