There’s a write up on espn by Adam Rittenburg that showers some praise on our defense without totally trashing the offense. I especially was intrigued by some of the post game comments from the coaches. 
 

Ryan Day: 

"That was the most confident and energetic group that I've been around, probably since '19, out there on the field today," Day said. "The crowd was into it, the whole group, they had that look in their eye and they were getting the crowd involved. A couple times, I'm like, 'Guys, they're about to snap the ball, let's go.' But I love that.

"That's the confidence that's building week in and week out."

Jim Knowles: 

"They now have confidence that they can win the game on defense," defensive coordinator Jim Knowles said of his players. "I don't look at stats but I guess Penn State had a pretty good defense, so we talked to them before the game: 'Hey, you're not just playing Penn State's offense. You're playing Penn State's defense. If they make one play, we've got to make two. If they made two, we got to make three.' So it's a sense of maturity, leadership, maybe a little chip on the shoulder.

"We've done a lot of work to have everyone have faith in this."

Am I crazy to think this offense could be better 5 weeks from now as we hopefully get Ebuka & Henderson back and McCord keeps stacking game experience? Add that to a defense playing lights out and this season could become real special real quick. Great job through 7 regardless.
