Some smaller things I noticed last night that stood out:
1.) Tyler Stephens caught both passes thrown his way. The second was a pretty good catch too.
2.) Brayshawn Littlejohn was living in the backfield throughout the 4th quarter. Made several TFLs. That’s your LB 5? That’s some scary depth.
3.) Logan Reichert was overmatched. There’s more to playing OL in the SEC than being a massive human being. He has a long way to go.
4.) Mitch Walters has come a long way. Probably a good template for Reichert actually as he was lost early in his career too. He made two TD sealing blocks on runs. Going to be a key player in the Jumbo packages and feel confident if he needs to step in at any point in the starting lineup.
5.) DL depth is going to be just fine. Joe Moore looks physically bigger and more imposing. And Eddie Kelly was flashing as well. At DT, we had six guys taking snaps in the first half. That’s going to be huge later in the year if they can rotate that many guys in that spot.
6.) Blake Craig (Craig the Leg) looked super confident and has every bit of leg Mevis has. Going to need to see him hit a clutch kick to feel 100% confident. But he eased a lot of concerns.
7.) Luke Bauer has really taken it to another level. His two kicks were huge. Really pulling for him after everything he’s been through.
8.) They’ve got to get the PR game cleaned up. Letting kicks drop that they shouldn’t. Calling for fair catches when there’s plenty of room to get a return. It meant nothing last night. It will mean something in October.
