I came away with a much different opinion of the game than it appears most on here did. Maybe emotions were riding high during the live play.
We spotted them 14 points in the first, nothing else. Motley got hosed on PIs. His play was great though.
0 points in the 3rd.
Without mistakes and poor officiating, we're likely rolling into the 4th up something like 30-some to 10. Foot on the neck.
That was a big time, hostile, night game. Raider fans made it their super bowl. That stadium was rocking. Tortillas were being slaughtered en masse. Tech players were doing everything possible to hurt OUr psyche.
We dug deep, came back, and snuffed them out. I bet no one here felt uneasy in the 4th. The score was closer than the play of the game.
The soft db coverage bothers me too, but our dbs were locked and loaded last night. No anger towards them. Murray and Bolton were flying around as usual, so freaking nice to have 2 dependable linebackers again. Our defensive line could still use more talent, but maybe they finally found the right combo in the 4th quarter. Amani Bledsoe stepped up and gave a glimmer of hope in the 11th hour. He was controlling the game at the end there.
I'm really pumped about last night's win. There's no excuse for dbs playing behind the freaking first down markers. That's infuriating, but I still saw vast defensive improvement over a Stoops led battalion of goons.
