Great effort all around even though the results on Offense were<br />disappointing. We seem reluctant to throw the ball downfield so we've become predictable. Protection for Morninweg adequate, arm strength there, but as Old Lion points out no separation from receivers.

We need 17 points from our offense and no mistakes that cede easy points. And let the D do the rest. We need to think actual victory.

Plenty of it in fact. They just didn't get it done when they had an opportunity to win this game with the D putting them in within striking distance. The O has shown ability this season for sure but they have not found the comfort zone to do make progress every series. I don't have an answer why that is.

Let's leave it at that because we still have a few decent opportunities for more wins.

I think Molina would have scored had he not slipped. And we had a good game plan to shorten the game with short passes and a running game which in Molina's hands kept Dartmouth off balance. One note which needs to be mentioned: Dartmouth's second touchdown was the result of a trick play in which we weren't set and Williams was hiding out by the sideline, leaving him totally undefended. But as has been said before, what we really need is the second coming of Austin Knowlin and Andrew Kennedy. On a final note, I was really proud of our guys and the staff. oldlionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242868168620796807noreply@blogger.com
