On a beautiful day in Colorado Tommy Rees had a game that QB’s dream about. He passed for 284 yards and 5 touchdowns to 5 different receivers – Corey Robinson, Will Fuller, Ben Koyack, TJ Jones and Chris Brown – all long balls. Rees now has 54 TD passes in his career and each pass was picture perfect. Even Andrew Hendrix completed a pass – 46 yards to Fuller – kid has speed. With the way Rees is playing you have to wonder, if it continues and he had another year, would Golson be riding the rails. This just shows the necessity of getting at least 1 QB every recruiting cycle and flash a redshirt on him.

Yea I known AF is an option team but 284 rushing yards on this ND defense has to concern. Looks like Sheldon Day re-injured his ankle. ND should not play Nix against Navy and I would seriously consider sitting Tuitt. Navy is very good at chop blocks on the inside and we often lose guys to knee and ankle injuries.

On offense we took what AF gave us but only 135 rushing yards against a weak AF defense is concerning. We out weighed these guys by at least 50-60 lbs per man but we continued the trend running east/west rather than right at them. Looks like McDaniel (61 yds) and Folston (47 yds) will be 1-2 on the depth chart. Atkinson and Carlisle just don’t get any production, real shame since Atkinson has speed to burn. Hell put Hendrix in at full back.

Brindza kicks a 51 yd field goal – good news, for we will need all the points we can get going into the last 4 games.

All in all a nice relaxing game to watch – no damn drama.

Here are some clips:
