The way the season has gone I did not expect to say: The offense kept us competitive and the defense lost us the game. ST choices and decisions were bad for both teams so Imma say that just a push.
I expected to get completely blown out after repeated poor performances. We weren’t and we were in it until late. I’m pleased at the end of the day. Do I know what the hell happened to our usually at least reasonably stout d? Nope not a clue. But we stayed in a football sprint race and we were not embarrassed. At this point that’s enough for me (which says a lot about the state of the program, I’m well aware.)
