Sid opened if the coaches could see a game like this coming this week. PJ responded that he’s not sure he saw it coming this week but that they could see it coming. Now whether it was this year or next year, they knew they were close and it shows the capability of what they are able to do. They still have players at key positions with not much experience. Yesterday we saw players executing with consistency.
Fleck said that Demry played “tremendous”. Said that his decisions in were correct and decisive. He showed his athleticism and what he could become. Demry was extremely prepared, and Coach also gave credit to coach Kirk Ciarrocca for prepping the quarterbacks and preparing a gameplan that fits the quarterback.
“We’re not going to turn into this team that runs Demry 25 times a game. You’ll see him run the ball more here and there, we’re going to continue to run our stuff.” Mentioned Maryland is on their 4th string QB.
An important skill of Demry Croft is being able to carry out fakes and holding the defense on the read option. Coach Fleck called it “ball handling” and said they work on it every day at practice. “Nobody in the country is better at developing quarterbacks than Kirk Ciarrocca. He has the ability to make people feel incredibly comfortable since he’s a great listener.”
The coaches want the team to be balanced as much as possible on offense between the run and the pass. PJ did say the receivers had some drops yesterday. Additionally, he gave credit to the offensive line for playing a great game. They have a few freshmen upfront playing in key spots, and they are not letting their situation impact their play.
“Kobe McCrary is the secret gem of this entire year. He’s got incredible feet for a big guy. I think Rodney as well is getting more comfortable in the system.”
Fleck said that Duke McGhee’s stop on 4th down on the goal line in the 1st quarter was one of the biggest plays of the game.
Sid questioned about JD Spielman from Nebraska. Fleck, “We can’t let guys like that leave the state. He’s a game changer.”
The team is applying for a medical redshirt for Antoine Winfield Jr. Coach said the doctors are very confident they will get the medical redshirt.
As for Northwestern, Coach Fleck mentions their quarterback as a player to watch out for, and that their defense is very sound.
