I was really surprised with the defense. Especially second half. It wasn't really sexy but they actually did a really good job overall. Got better as the game went on. Lots to improve but I thought it would be worse on D and better on O.
Agreed.
Helped we held the ball a long time too.
It's weird cause if you look at the box stats - we crushed them. We just didn't execute when needed. Great TOP, more yards etc
if we didn't keep shooting ourselves in the foot, we easily could of blown them out.
second half adjustments by Saleh were impressive. Giving 7-10 points a half is an excellent performance. If the offense can execute better, d continue to improve, and ST just not be god awful - we have a chance. Winning this game at this point in the season will most likely turn out to be a major positive later in the year.
