During the tail end of a fantasy football draft this morning I had a chance to look at last night's box score. Some things that stood out:
-We only punted twice for a 33-yard average, but both were downed inside the 20.
-Northern held the time of possession advantage, although it was only 28 seconds.
-Forgot that Maurice Moore had a 21-yard reception in the game, he ran a nice route to get open and Tolzien hit him.
-Chris Maragos had a better game than I thought -- led the team with nine tackles, a sack, two tackles for loss, and of course the game-clinching breakup. They showed him getting the team pumped up in the pregame, and it looked a tad unnatural for him, but he's off to a great start as a captain.
-O'Brien Schofield is still my player of the game with seven tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and half a sack. I really liked how Dave Doeren changed up OB's positioning and stance, he looks natural without his hand on the ground, on foot in front of the other.
-Great start for J.J. Watt, six tackles, half a sack, a hurry and a tip. He and Schofield were great, but I'm a little concerned that the tackles didn't even seem to be on the field. Then again, Northern didn't exactly run all over us, so maybe they just did a good job occupying blockers.
-Culmer St. Jean was credited with a couple hurries, he had his moments, as did Blake Sorensen. Devin Smith was active with six tackles.

The best thing about the Moore catch was that you know he was no earlier than Tolzien's third read on a tough third and long. He had to be thinking Andreson or Toon first, then Graham, so Anderson is at best third. That Tolzien could make that play in his first start is a good sign.
