Traveling 2300 miles, 3 time zone difference, at an altitude of 2500ft, and this being the 1st game of the season makes this a great win.
Unlike LY we started off strong which really set the tone for the entire game.

Some noted accomplishments;

It's great to be playing the entire game with the lead.
A 3-1 turnover ratio was good as well.
The 80% passing completion mark was also great.
The RB crew lived up to the billing.
We showed we can score both quickly as well as being able to milk the clock to help control the game.

I'm glad there were a lot of positives, but there were a fair number of negatives for the coaches to harp on this week: too many penalties (McQueen could've been ejected for the punch he threw); defense was a little soft on short passes; too many fourth-down conversions; a better QB would've hit some of those deep receivers. It was a great win, but it was also against one of the worst teams in 1A ball. They say that a team improves most between weeks 1 and 2. Let's hope so. T'erd will not be so easy next week.

Pretty good win, I'm satisfied. The offense was much improved and did a nice job exploiting Idaho's weak secondary. I wasn't overly impressed with Vick or Sprague, although Vick did a pretty great job hitting wide open targets. We caught the ball too - which was awesome, Sebastian Smith, Papi, and Heitzman all were good.

Despite giving up 28, I thought the defense made a fair amount of positive plays -sacks, hurries, etc. We've got some playmakers on that side of the ball and got a lot of guys snaps yesterday.

Getting a personal conduct penalty on a play on which we attempted a field goal was interesting.

I'm going to Marshall game Sunday, should have a good idea of their abilities after playing a big ten team even if it is a bad one. Glad to hear a lot of people are positive about last night. I didn't have a chance to even catch the final score until late last night.
