Collins won't have to deal w/the wind in the dome next week & we'll get to see a more wide open attack. Of course we'll want to run the ball but I expect to see more 3 & 4 wr sets, which we didn't see hardly any of last night. Did McCardell, Caldwell & Thrash even get in the game on O?

I agree Portis and the O-line stepped up in a big way last night, but we have seen this before from the running game where they have a big game one week and the next week they come out and are a total non-factor.
