In fall camp coach K made a comment to the tune of "we are focused on eliminating bad football, because bad football loses games far before good football wins them".
Man, was that true tonight.
We won the turnover battle 0-4. We had 4 penalties for 30 yards, to their 10 for 97. We only gave up 1 sack, we sacked them twice.
We had one moment of very bad football (the punt) that, had we not done that, probably would have meant us winning in regulation. Still, we have done a great job of eliminating the mistakes in our control that take away our chances to win football games. During the toughest times of this year, it wasn't always easy to see the progress as we were getting stomped by several teams in the conference, but those things were coming along, and eventually the culmination of doing a bunch of little things the right way all the time is that you start to turn the corner and have a shot to win games.
Such a great night for our kids, and hats off to the staff. They have done an excellent job developing these guys, and I can't wait to see where we are in a few years.
