  QUICK NOTES:

Tate Forcier completed 13-20 for 179 yds and 3 TDs—not bad for his first collegate start. I have to say of all the Qbs he looked the best he was confident, very poised, executed the offense very well and the most important NO TURNOVERS. He showed me he is more than ready to be our starter for the next 3-4 yrs.

Wr Junior Hemingway had 5 rec,103 yds, and 2 TDs, both from Forcier

The defense played VERY well in the first half only allowing 29 yrds. But gave up more than 200 + in the second half but I think the coaches were playing around in the second half. After all we had a 31-0 lead.

So I was, however, concerned in the second half with the lack of execution from the offense. That is a reason to be concerned but i think again the coaches were playing around again. But who knows!

So I hope you all had fun as I very well did and the important thing is the W. So see ya next week and hopefully it will come out another W against ND. 3:30 pm on Abc.
