Positives from the game

[halfEmpty]

They didn't burn a timeout because of an expiring play clock...

Anything else?

[The1BigWillie]

Umm... The other team didn't score. 

[Unruly]

WE WON!

found out Bill Shattner is EMAW AF

[AppleJack]

One step closer to Delton

[halfEmpty]

Umm... The other team didn't score.

It was one of the most unimpressive shutouts I've ever seen, but agreed.  I thought the front played very well against the run with a couple of breakdowns on qb scrambles.  Would like to see more pressure (several qb hits, but just a step late too often).  Pass coverage in the LB zone needs improvement.  Secondary was their usual bend but don't break selves.

Shutouts are impressive no matter who the opponent is or how it happened. The difference between giving up 3 and 0 is huge.

E. Lee looked confused in coverage. Fortunately, he has the athleticism to close quickly, after the catch.

South Dakota easily could have had a few field goals but were "trying to win" so were going for touchdowns instead. So I am not taking nearly as much away from the shutout.

Positives:

1) Burning Delton's redshirt must mean that the staff really expects him to contribute this year and had no doubt in their minds he was going to play this season.

2) Even without DM-The Future and Barnett in the game our secondary looked pretty competent.

3) Our running game could be pretty flipping dynamic. . .which we haven't been able to say for a little while.

4) No drop off in our return game. Between Heath and Burns, we should have some solid field position's this year.

caught a foul ball

[Steffy08]

Freshman center snapping to a freshman qb; leading receiver and rusher were freshman.  Young guys on defense looked good, too.

Future looks good.  I'm hoping Delton improves enough to be the better option this year at QB.  That would make the future look even better.

Yard dog, what the eff are you talking about? They were in field goal range twice in the first half and missed both field goals. They didn't start the four down territory stuff until they were down 27 points at the end of the 3rd quarter.

MODS!!!:
Could we get a filter on Heath to correct to Wacky or Wackycat?

If I recall correctly, if you score in the third or fourth quarter it is no longer a shutout.

[MadCat]

I enjoyed the failed double reverse and unusual spiking the ball on 3rd down plays by USD.

[puniraptor]

i want to know more about the 3rd down spike. mind games?

Not to mention, both field goal attempts were inches away from being blocked.

[yoEMAW]

I know it happened very early on, but we did return the opening kickoff for 6 so that was neat.

It is possible they would have redshirted both.
