What We Learned About Linfield: Week 2...

Linfield's offense is scary:  All the week 1 mistakes that haunted Linfield the week before were in display again last Saturday in the form of two missed field goals and two turnovers.  Despite this, the "Cat Attack put up 49 points and 563 yards of offense against Hardin-Simmons; how many teams do we know around the country who can put up numbers like that on an off-day?  The list is small, and the Linfield offense is on that list.

Passing game returns:  Much like 2011, Mickey Inns came back from an iffy opener to post impressive numbers in week 2.  After going 10-25 for 172 yards and two touchdowns against Menlo in the opener, Inns put on a n incredible display against Hardin-Simmons, going 26-41 for 309 yards, four touchdowns and one interception.  On the season, Inns has completed 54.5 percent of his passes for 481 yards with six touchdowns and only one interception.

Wildcat defense has chinks in the armor:  After a magnificent showing against Menlo, Linfield's defense showed some kinks in the armor against an offense that featured a strong running back and an explosive passing attack.  Of course, two late touchdown drives in garbage time padded the stats for Hardin-Simmons after the game was already over.  The Wildcat defense continued to make plays though, forcing three turnovers, blocking a field goal, and recording four tackles for loss.  Next weekend's match-up against Cal Lutheran will go a long way in showing how good Linfield's defense will be this season.
