I just watched this game. I knew the outcome going in, but I cannot believe that the following things happened...
1. We were backed up on 2nd and 15 with 8 minutes to go. We proceed to score in two plays.
2. Crawley was getting absolutely punished in the first half. They were going after him all afternoon. In the second half, he showed the brilliance we recruited getting in the middle of every thing.
3. Kasa had his absolute best game as a Buff. Never gaining traction as a DE, he is moved to TE due to our lack of performers at that position. He has crazy physical gifts. He was "Gronk-lite" for us today.
4. Devaughn Thornton had a good game. He had crucial catches for the first time ever in his Buff career.
5. Vigo had an unreal game. He was flying all over the GD field.
6. We tackled as a team. We were the ones popping pads.
7. To top it all off, the GW play was on a 4th and goal called QB sneak from a spread set after our power formation gets stuffed silly. That took huge stones. What a call.
I don't know if we will win many more games this year (if any). But, after seeing the way the coaches reacted to the intense criticism they've faced, I really respect their commitment to our program. Let's build on this W and see what we can do going forward.
