Well, we sure have made it interesting the last 2 weeks..... The win feels great and I really would have loved to see another pancake score from Wynn to seal the game, but the defense rose to the occasion to get the FAT W. The referees are probably still in the ice bath from throwing out their shoulders with flags, but some went our way this game and I am still speechless. They were asleep at the wheel on the 3rd and goal where we scored, but all's well that ends well. We have GOT to come out of the gate faster because that is going to bite us. We can't expect to always rally from a deficit and we need to learn to play with a lead. Mix up the play calling and trust our D. Go FU!

Couldn’t agree more. Open up the playbook from the start, don’t wait until its a have to.

AP, "opening up the playbook" can be a risky proposition when you are on your own 5 yard line. That can be a recipe for a turnover and a quick score by the opposition. When you have a good D you don't want to give them a TD, you want to make them earn it.

Bad field position in the first half dictated some conservative play calling. Coach H made a reference to this in his post game comments.

Clearly we need to start playing 60 minutes of ball. Won’t win many games when you play well a little more than one quarter. Any win is a win so we just need to continue to improve weekly.

These are all essentially playoff games because with one more loss we are essentially done. Glad Wofford’s season is OVER!
