Bad - Overall: Penalties. Punt blocked. ND uniforms.

Good - Offense: Play of the patch-work O-line - giving fill-ins/future starters valuable experience - handled ND’s blitz packages. Despite horrid stats, ND’s D is actually a decent tough group - unfortunately, they play consistently behind the eight ball. When O-line had its problems w/ pass protection, Sanchez showed his mobility. SC’s future, if not present, at the QB position is bright (and imagine if Mustain is really better than Sanchez). Sanchez has a Carson canon-like arm - balls thrown to mid and deep out patterns have NFL velocity. SC found its primary WR - Vidal Hazelton - he doesn’t drop balls and doesn’t go down with the first hit. McKnight’s first TD run. Fred Davis is O’s MVP.

Bad - Offense: Running game did not start off well. When CWashington dances in the hole it usu. does not turn out well. Chauncey - hit the hole hard - you are the big back!!!

Good - Defense: Shutout. Sacks. Interception. Sed is the Beast. Good to see Rey out there. Great to see Cushing (although he does not look as quick/fast as he was pre-injury - hope that it is just me). Kevin Ellison is the man.

Bad - Defense: Offsides penalties - these should not happen. (Not really too many bad things when the D pitches a shutout.)

Good - Special Teams: Seeing Desmond Reed returning punts. SC won field position battle - thanks to kicking game and return game. RoJo will break one soon.

Bad - Special Teams: Punt blocked. Fumble by McKnight.
