[Herky] What did we learn about this FB team?

[Bill Yost]

FWIW I did not see wideouts getting any separation (much like last year).
Was expecting more from Smith-some have said he was not running “clean”
routs. New guys on both lines did well. Think we will know more after the
ISU game. Montgomery is an excellent back and dL/lb’s will be tested.
Stanley will play better next week but receivers must step to the front.
