Jim Wyatt has his six things that stood out. One of the things he highlighted was the connection Cam Ward had with Calvin Ridley. That is going to be a very important connection for this offense to be good. The respect those guys have for each other at this early stage is really cool to see.
Wyatt also pointed out the good night that inside linebacker James Williams Sr had. Williams is trying to make his case to start opposite Cody Barton when the season starts.
Tyjae Spears suffered a high ankle sprain in the loss last night. More on that here.
Paul Kuharsky broke down Cam Ward’s night, including a nugget that he arrived at the stadium 6 1/2 hours before kickoff.
