2024 Week 2: Texas A&M Commerce (0-1) @ UC Davis (0-1) I think Plough summed up my feelings about the game when he said that he'd take a "dirty win over a loss any day." I also thought it was interesting that the TAMC Coach said he felt like the Aggies came out flat and that his team failed to take advantage of it and got behind big before they started rolling in the second half.
This was a tough game and we bent but didn't break. Our inefficiency in the red zone is concerning and I was surprised at how porous our pass defense was giving up those big plays in the second half. I remember Plough saying that they want to make teams one dimensional offensively by stopping the run, which we did, but we also can't have teams torching us through the air either.
Our next game at Southern Utah is going to be challenging. They're a pretty good football team and playing in Cedar City on their "high school like field" will make it tough to get emotionally up for the game. I hope we'll be ready to play and that we'll see some definite improvement in the areas we are struggling with.
