Here's my $0.02 worth: No running game to speak of. However, a kid named Elijah Lucas got most of the carries-ran hard but not very far. TK got a few carries...not much. As far as Taylor & Brooks-nada,zip, zilch, etc. Brooks might have had a couple of carries in the first series, not sure.. Otherwise, our starting RB's did not play. We may have found a couple guys who can catch it: Sam Crawford might become a star(K. Stokes just about is) & Malik Jackson has a ton of potential. I. Cooksey & Josh Stewart were a combined 2 for ten or so. At least I liked our wideouts blocking on the edge, Stewart was very good blocking. Malik Jackson had 2 or 3 nice catches as well as J.C. Santana & J. Breedlove. Don't think #8 played at all. We just might be OK at receiver.
All kind of combo's on the D front. Trevis Gipson was in our backfield a lot and others on the line did the job. I still say we're deep on the D-line,either that or our run game needs a bunch of work(see above for starters). As for the QB's...Zach Smith threw 2 TD's-he throws on more of a line than rainbow deep balls-good stuff. Boomer started the first drive & did OK with the dink, dunk & short run-although after 45 or so yards, had to punt.. In fact, none of the QB's led a sustained drive except for Smith's 2 bombs. Brin & Marquardt played several series each & IMO, did very well. After this, I would expect Smith to start-but either might give Boomer a run for back-up.
A bunch of walk-ons made some plays like above RB-Lucas, C.J. Larry at LB made some nice hits are what I remember. Treyvon Reeves worked Boomer for a P-6. Our d-backfield is very good & very deep. We've got experienced guys at least 2-deep back there. We know our starting LB's are the best in the AACK! & they didn't disappoint. Kicking game is solid with Bennett booming those 50 yarders- although still a little erratic...he should add a couple yards to his average this year. A new guy is kicking xtra points named Jacob Rainey(another walk-on) & looked solid. Romo never kicked off once-they placed the ball down to start a drive. That's all I remember-someone else fill in the blanks.
