Holy Cow!!! That's about all I can say after my Ducks waddle into Michigan and just destroy them!! I thought that Big Blue would be just seriously pissed off after losing to a great Div I-AA team the previous week and just had us our collective asses. This game from a scoreboard looked like we just dominated. However, in actuality Michigan was doing quite well for most the game. They moved it well against us but like the old Rich Brooks teams our defense bent but didn't break. They even came away with some great stops in the Red Zone. Great going guys! And as the game moved on they just started to push around Michigan and started to just dominate the tone of the game. Meanwhile on the other side of the ball Dixon after a horrible end to last season looked like he was unstoppable for most the game. Those 2 statue of liberty plays were quite unexpected and worked to perfection. Our double headed running backs just pounded the D relentlessly even the reserve running backs looked good. Dixon gets the game ball and well deserved! Those long passes right on the money in stride was his weakness last year as he tended to under or over throw them. Great off-season work to get that corrected. I don't think I've seen passes that on the money since Joey and Sammie were here!
I would love to say coming out of this game things look really great for the rest of the season. But somehow I just can't. We proved we could play offense and score but it seemed like we left quite a few points off the board there in the second half by just not concentrating. Also the defense which got better as the game went on needs to shore it up early. But if they can continue to progress forward they should be able to compete with anyone in the league and it looks like the league will have some contenders this year. But is everyone playing for 2nd or have teams caught up to the Trojans finally? Well only time will tell.
