If there is anything positive to identify in this game is that good teams sometimes win very ugly games. They didn’t give up the last couple minutes. Portland could have put the game away with a first down.
Exactly. I get the feeling the team and maybe coaches were gleaning the press and social media about Idaho win rather than seriously preparing for this game. This shows what is needed to contain a mobile quarterback. I’m retired so I am allowed to glean and bask :-).
Got to really clean up penalties and mistakes. That TD at the end of the half called back by covering the tight end is really inexcusable - just field presence and take a step back off the line.
