We were a completely different team defensively in the 2nd half....they were moving the ball at will in the first, just like WI in the 4th quarter of the game 2 weeks ago.
I'm even more convinced now that we would have beaten WI if they hadn't made that call. We can argue all day whether or not it was valid, but it absolutely changed that game and impacted the result.

if we shut down the run they will really struggle to move the ball, but they are an Ok running team and have had their moments on the ground. to give an idea of how bad they are at passing it, they are only completing about 13 passes a game for 140 yards at about a 55% completion rate. if we can keep them in 3rd and long it will be a long day for their O.
i think this game is basically a toss up. if either team can go up 7-0 early or gets a two score lead at any point i think it gets tough for the other one to win.
