the first possession of the 2nd half we forced a quick 3 and out. Their 2nd possession was the never ending 20 play drive and we were gassed the rest of the game

our offense had 2 quick 3 play drives after that 20 play drive so our defense was dead tired the rest of the game.

Back to the board

Weird statistical anomaly - D played well down to down, but that 13 minute drive and a few third and long conversions were (almost) killer. Some shades of Wink in there. * - By Potter September 6, 2026 at 11:56:36 AM
- First half D was very good. Disruptive and not just Nichols. Second half was more bend don't break. - By LewisBullox September 6, 2026 at 12:10:14 PM
  - I think you're right. Coaches started thinking (probably knew) "If WMU scores a TD and is up by more than 3, we're in trouble because our O stinks." ** - By Potter September 6, 2026 at 12:23:22 PM

- Two bad ones. 3rd and 14 and they gave up a 16 yard completion, poorly defended. 3rd and 6 and gave up an 8 yard run up the gut. Those hurt, one reason we only had 48 plays* - By Rich September 6, 2026 at 12:01:56 PM
- they were gassed just iike wink's kids because of an incompetent offense. if moore was the shadow coach last night nobody would blink. that was a moore offense stinker except now we can't run too - By Daytripper September 6, 2026 at 11:59:16 AM
  - Yes, complementary football. Better offense keeps D fresh (2021-2023) but also better D gives the offense more plays and a chance to get going* - By Rich September 6, 2026 at 12:03:03 PM
