What have you noticed on your rewatch?

Like many (most? all?) I have rewatched the the game.   For me it has been twice over the weekend and I am sure I will watch it a few more times this week.    

What have you noticed on your rewatch that you didn't notice watching live (or in person if you were there)? 

Fun thing:   CJ (I think) was knocked down on Loveland TD pass.   He got up and signaled TD while the ball was still in the air.

Football thing:   On the MS TD breakup it is amazing how far he came to make that play.  He was positioned on the left side of the defense and must have made up 20 yards to make that play.   I'm not so sure it was even his guy.

I think the oLine learned all game without panic and likely learned all season that they would wear down their opponent in the second half. The gaps were beautiful for Edwards and he and CJ Stokes only need a sliver to explode since Blake should sit this one out and heal up for CFP.

John Madden taught me the beauty of good oline play (Redskins/Diesel) and it was waning with the spread and USC/Urban style until a guy shocked folks at Stanford. The past two years it re-emerged in a tug of war that one guy won (and the other guy sought warmer climes over). Jack's little boy. Thanks Jack.

That Harrison Jr wasn't their leading receiver, in yards, completions, targets, or scores. I'm no pilot, but I know a plane crash when I see one. Day should've leaned on him, but instead they scored 3 points in the second half. They coached bad and should feel bad.

Harbaugh mentioned this - but it bears repeating.  This was a TEAM win. I know there were individual outstanding performance, but everyone played their part to the point that if we don't have the level of performance from just one person, we may not get the win.  Some things that stand out

  • CJ's first TD.  Incredible balance to say up despite a shoe string tackle that probably brings down 75% of players.
  • JJ growing into the game, despite a rough start
  • MS' fingertip deflection to keep a TD off the board
  • McGregor's two near INTs - at least one of which was on a crucial third down
  • Michael Barrett.
  • Donovan Edwards dusting OSU twice
  • That fourth down playcall to start the second half
  • Jesse Minter calling the game of his life.
  • The entire OL

And on and on.  

Just truly a total team performance from top to bottom.
