I was a little bit puzzled with that long bomb that Burris overthrew to Bryant. I am not questioning why they did it because Burris saw the opening and if it works that was a sure TD. Unfortunately it didn't. I thought that was a poor time management when we are winning by 4 points. They could tried to be conservative and keep throwing short yardage and run the clock down. Maybe we could win the game and maybe not. That was not the reason why we lost the game though. We lost the game because Rob Maver missed 3 field goals. I don't understand why he came back so fast after his injury. He was having problem while healthy, does he think he can help when he is hurting? The Stamps could have win with that Andrew Fabian guy kicking the ball. Even if he missed 1 or 2 out 3, we still could have win the game. Oh well, it's over with.
I have to blame the offense also for the lost. Burris was okay in the 1st quarter but he was out-of-sync in the 2nd and 3rd quarter. He woke up when TO scored TD close to the end of the game. They came close but close is not good enough.
Defense were okay all night. You can tell the Stamps are missing LB Malik Jackson(lost him early in the game) and the DLine is not the same without Tom Johnson(signed in the NFL) and Robert McCune(injured) playing inside. The secondary did an okay job and I think they will improve. OLine was having problem in the 2nd and 3rd quarter but got better in the 4th. It is the first game of the season and we can see improvement in the next few games.
