What went right:
-Offensive play calling. Didn't ask Chapman to do much. Got the ball into the hands of the playmakers. And watched as the blocking dominated a very young UNLV team.
-Nine pass yards. That will help out the passing yards average at the end of the year, combating the other outlier game against Cal. Not that it matters. The performance did make a big statement though. UNLV didn't even get into the redzone.
-QB pressure. While Rocky turned up the heat a little more tonight with the blitzes he called, the defense got into the backfield much quicker than they did in the past three games where the offenses not only picked the blitzes up, but stood up the pass rushers. Snead never had a chance.
-Quest Truxton. Even though he's still a new face, he has been really fun to watch on punt returns and honestly could be a special teams POTY candidate if he starts taking his long returns all the way back for TD’s. He has has come very close a handful of times this season.
-Dropped passes have been an issue as of late but that wasn'the the case today.
What went wrong:
-The number of penalties saw some improvement but there have still been far too many cases where SDSU's offense puts themselves in 3rd & long situations. At least there weren't any personal fouls.
-Na'I'm McGee. Say what you will, but SDSU lost a senior leader. Luckily, they have some depth to work with in the secondary.
-Chapman gave up a fumble for the second straight game. This one was more of a brain fart/bang bang play than anything.
Post any other notables you guys took away from tonight'so game.
