Surprises so far this year:
Pleasant:
1.) Cam Taylor-Britt playing with his hair on fire. I would include JoJo Domann here, but that is less of a surprise.
2.) Eli Sullivan basically making every play he has to.
3.) The linebackers overall have played well.
Unpleasant:
1.) The O-line plays competently about half the time. I think they have had like...two good quarters against Illinois that they can hang their hats on. That's about it.
2.) Martinez is not owning the field like we all thought he would.
3.) Like half of our WR targets either aren't playing or aren't getting passed to very much. It's Spielman or bust, and that is way, way too one-dimensional.
4.) The turnovers. Good god, the turnovers.
5.) While we clearly look physically WAY better than we have in at least the last couple of years, we're still just at best duking it out evenly with Colorado and Illinois of all friggin' teams.
