In addition to sitting our two all-American candidates, we played a very vanilla offense. For example, I don't remember seeing a single BIC the whole game. With that in mind, the extremely low number of attack errors is interesting and nice to see (and makes sense).

I don't like seeing those 4 aces for them, but I guess I'm willing to chalk it up to people playing next to people they're not used to playing with.

Many blocks vs. no blocks is largely because we out-sized them by a lot.

Your prediction that they would play a ball control offense was right on. They passed very well. Their setter was good. He didn't have much by way of options or help with disguising where he was going. They have a left-handed outside who get pretty hot (that's Thiemann), got a few through the block, but 75% of his kills were just tooled off the block. The BYU blockers didn't do a great job of adjusting to the leftie swings and set location.

It was good to see Dobbert have such a strong night.

We did not serve aggressive at all.

Those are my primary observations, but if you have questions, let me know. I'm not the most sophisticated volleyball observer, but I'll tell you what I saw.

Actually, my last observation: we are very fortunate to have games on BYUtv and to have Jarom and Steve Vail on the call. The single camera video was fine, but extremely limited, and the two girls calling the game were awful. Just awful. At one point, they debated how blocks are tallied -- and came to completely the wrong conclusion. And that's just one example.
