A+
Darren McFadden with 184 yards on the ground. He is back.

B-
Defense gets a shut out but please consider the opponent. No turnovers yet.

C
Passing game glimpses give a little ray of hope for fans on the drive in the 3rd Quarter when he hit Damian Williams on a 50 yard post pattern and then Monk in the corner of the end zone. Mitch Mustain ... No turnovers.

D-
Reverting back to Houston Nutt's playbook. It is 4th and half a yard on their 39 and punt the ball ... Questionable! Oh, we were running the Nutt offense ... That explains it AND it works so well because we went 4-7 and then 5-6. Earth to Houston ... Wake up.

F-
The kicking game. One missed extra point and a close near miss extra point. The 37 yard attempt did not even hit the net behind the goal post ... Scary!! We still can not put the kick-off into the end zone. This team weakness will result in a couple of L's this year.
