Like what I saw from Welch and Augusta tonight. Both had a hard nose, downhill style through contact. Welch took a big hit in the first half, bounced off and continued to fight. Very tough player for a true Freshman. Really like how Augustave keeps his pads down for a taller runner. Fumble was more about a great play by the defender more than poor technique by Augustave.
Of course, rather than pound the rock with 2 minutes to go in the 4th, we are trying to pad our passing statistics instead of working on the run game. My guess is SS was again checking out of run calls because "I saw cover zero and wanted to get ________ a catch. BS. Running the ball when CSU expects us to run gave us an opportunity to work on a situation we haven't been good at. Lost opportunity.
