I think Hawk needs to let the offense go up tempo in the 2nd half and try to get in a rhythm. I understand the strategy of using the clock as much as possible but the offense seemed out of sync with Maier constantly taking the play clock down to nearly zero before the snap.
Encouraging game. Defense better than expected, offense predictably had trouble against a team that was tough against USC.
Big thing is it had the feel of a football game. We didn’t get steamrollered.
I think today will increase their confidence, particularly defensive players.
We need to develop a better running game but this game was a high bar to cross so I wouldn’t make too much of their ineffectiveness in this game,
This game will help our computer rankings. Losing by 20 to a top 10 team is a positive. We actually have impressive team stats, like their third down conversions 3-14
