Agreed - I know he’s had his critics, including me, but so far he’s doing GREAT and has learned from this game last year.
This is important, and I can't stress this enough. Tom Herman needs to score TDs on every series, none of this going conservative with the lead. Put foot on throat and keep it there for 4 quarters.
Did anyone catch that the firs td pas was from Humphries to Watson? Even espn is giving Sam the credit.
I've been very critical of Sam, but the one thing I've noticed in this game. The easy sideways passes are looking really good. He is putting them in a place where the guys can actually do something with the ball. This is huge because it is sucking the defense closer to the LOS where Sam can then put one over the top to CJ or LJ.
