The numbers back up what I think most fans are feeling: solid week 1 win with clear room for improvement in certain areas but no one thing overly glaring. These recaps are great.
Taylor, the defensive snap range was a bit surprising - looking at West, Sharpe, and Toomer - I didn't realize how stark the totals would be. Based on what we know about the Coach Haines and crew, what do you expect to see moving forward?
It's tough. That's a good question. This is all speculation, but West will get more snaps. He's at least the second-best DT on the roster. I feel like his scenario was by design. As far as the DBs, I was surprised at the ownership of those five spots. It could be interpreted a number of ways, one being that the depth pieces are significantly behind these starters (I'd be surprised). Another is that these are the starters, and they want to encourage cohesion in the def. backfield before getting into rotations. As far as Toomer, I'm not expecting to see him on the field that often this season.
We probably won't learn more about this until UCLA or even Maryland.
