1. Crowd's about what I expected
It looks empty and that's because it is. CF seats actually tarped off...the most half-assed bowl game setup anywhere in the country. I hate this Sox ownership group. Credit to the fans that are in the ballpark and sticking this one out though.
2. Castellanos' legs are such a weapon
Obviously nothing new, but some of the situations he's escaped already today and created positive yards out of are pretty remarkable. Weather not helping the offense, so he may need to do it all.
3. Impressive response drive before the half.
10 plays, 77 yards, 6:07 and the creativity is what stood out. The little pitch to Robichaux with the throwback to Castellanos might be the most creative thing they've ran all year. More impressive was the fact that it came immediately after SMU had its own long TD drive.
4. Tackling still a problem at times.
Same story all year.
5. Terrible drive for defense to give up at the end of the half
On the flip side, defense can't give up a TD drive in the final three minutes after the offense just worked its butt off to get in the end zone. 10/55/2:59, Jaylan Knighton 6 yard TD catch and it's 14-10 Mustangs at the break.
6. Weather a factor, but still need more from the offense
SIX passing yards in the first half for BC (122 for SMU). Eight 1st downs for BC (14 for SMU). 16:08 possession time for SMU, 13:51 for BC. I know it's a terrible field and rain/wind isn't your friend on a day like this, but those are pretty pitiful numbers.
