Bulls speed on D kept big plays from happening

[SRQ]

several times they appeared to be ready to break one and a backer/safety would run their guy down.  this team will not be easy to score big on, esp if offense can run the ball successfully.

We got gashed on D.

D made big plays though.

This.  Let's not forget that the game was not over until we recovered the onside.  Even with no timeouts, I still think that with a couple plays towards Floyd they could have gotten into FG range.  Plus Rees was on target the whole 2nd half.  He's by far a better QB than Crist.

Except for the INT...and a few incompletions where he had open receivers...

Rees has a much better pace of play and the ball gets there quicker, thus allowing a better completion percentage.  Crist had a couple of open receivers that did not get completions because the defense got there before the ball.  Rees will be a better QB than Crist, but Rees still has work to do.  He should, of course, being a true freshman.

Can't be a true freshman ... I believe he started, and won, their last 4 games last year.

there were several plays where there was one guy to beat and that guy made the play to save a touchdown.

Or was chased down.  I agree our speed was big, but size was their advantage.  Per Holtz saying we played a soft zone, shows you why they were able to get 507 yards of offense on us, but when the field was shortened  the seem to have problems (red-zone).

Our composure was impressive, and we just let them make mistakes from the pressure.
