MSU v Charleston Southern -- Final thoughts

33.

That's how many yards we held CSU to, 15yds passing and 18 yds running. What a great defensive performance. Guys on defense were flying around while not losing containment or their lanes. They looked bigger and faster than last year and seemed to know what they were doing.

87.

That's the combined yardage of Key Thompson (35 yds) and Kylin Hill (62). It was really encouraging to see a lot of young players, on both sides of the ball, play. Hopefully that pays off with a lot of increased depth.

7.

That's the number of carries Fitz had. This was probably his first game (aside from ole miss last year) where he didn't didn't get hit a lot. We gave 30+ carries to our running backs. I thought Aeris had a bit of a slow start, but then picked it up.

Overall a really solid win. The main area of concern, and this is nothing new, is the offensive line. Charleston's defensive line seemed to get good pressure for most of the game.

It will be interesting to see what defense we play against La Tech next week. They look to have a decent qb and running back (at least based on stats from 1 game).
