Akron game review

One well played game under our belts and one in the Win column as we defeated the Akron Zips by a score of 38-7.  Overall I think the effort was great on both sides of the ball as well as special teams.  Blake looked very poised in the pocket and made some very accurate throws to all different receivers.  I think the pass protection will have to be worked on in the coming weeks but I have no doubt that it will improve.  Storm looked pretty good except for the few times that he was dancing around just a little bit too much.  I think that he realizes that he is talented enough to break away on every play and sometimes is not just willing to take what is given to him.  I'm sure the coaches will remind him of this in practice.  Cedric Thompson looked good as well as true Freshman running back Will Stanback who got a few carries in the fourth quarter.  On the defensive side of the ball I thought the run defense was pretty stout and the defensive backfield did a very good job keeping the extra yardage after the catches down to a minimum.  In addition, the defensive backs did not allow any big yardage plays from scrimmage which was a small concern considering how young the players are back there.  I would have to say that I was slightly disappointed that the defensive line did not put too much pressure on the quaterback and got only one sack.  Great job by Terrance Plummer being named the AAC defensive player of the week.  It was most deserved as he had 10 tackles total with three of them being tackles for loss.
