We were down 3 starters (DL, LB, S), a No. 2 DL and a No. 3 Bandit LB (none of which was the staff's fault).
We gave up 168 yards and 14 points on 2 plays.
We forced 2 recovered fumbles.
We forced some punts and bowed up to force some FG's.
When "fresh" (i.e. early and in the 4th quarter) we played medium to partly cloudy.
(Looking back, Jordan Crawford won the game on the first drive with 2 "instinct" plays - he ran down the RB and tripped his shoestring, and then blocked the FG. Playmakers play. Start the kid again.)
We got off tackles poorly, so we were sticking a lot of arms out, and that's a concern.
But we didn't look like the Titanic all the time either.
