Obviously we did not play as clean a game as I hoped. However, it was the first game of the year and TH seemed to be pretty amped up. Could have been a little first start of the year jitters after all the negative talk about the team over the off season.
There is really no way to know if CSU was just that bad (which they didn't look good) or we were just pretty good. We will obviously know more against Cal. However, I was pleasantly surprised by our O-line and linebackers. The O-line physically dominated CSU's defensive line (as it should be nearly every year). The linebackers were routinely in good position and made some good plays. The rest of the team played as expected to me (secondary was good, etc.).
