There's bound to be a Greek chorus gnashing and tearing togas over this one, so let's get it over with. WMU didn't cover the three score prediction over Ohio and frankly didn't look dominant at all.
Fleck's play call selection, especially in the first half when the Wildcats were giving it up, should have put the game out of reach early. But the hammerhead plunges ala Chip went nowhere and were anticipated by a wily 72 year old coach who'd been there, done that.
Fleck was lucky to win one he should have walked away with. And the sideline looked more like a high school pep rally than an FBS level operation, including Fleck himself. The man is more manic than I'd like, truth be told, racing up and down when he was't pacing up and down.
The problem with all of this is that it's grossly unfair to the man, since none of us has seen his fantastic body of work this year. And it's a bit unfortunate for us, since we expected the kind of flash and dash we're accustomed to and absolutely need to keep our brand alive.
The takeaway is that the Broncos won with defense at the end, something we haven't seen here in a while. But why is it that it doesn't seem good enough to get this Duck excited over wanting this coach as much as before the game?
