I’d give MC a B, missed a big chance to make it 3 scores before half. Kept BR hungry at half.
More unforced errors than usual: consistent penalties, fumbled snap TO, several clear miscues on routes and in the backfield, arm tackling on Gray and others in key situations leading to first downs.
MC needs a punter, having your QB kick it 15-20 yards is useless. Mine as well go for it.
Failed 4th downs put them in a hole as expected.
Defense looked tired at the end (both teams did). Rice was smart not to give up on running it in second half.
Better team won, but I’m not sure they would have beaten LWE tonight, that QB for LWE is better than Gray and has a stronger supporting cast.
At least most of that stuff is fixable. Plenty of talent clearly. Real nice game by #8 the X Factor, he looked good off the run and swing passes. Rice was clearly focused on stopping Burrell and did a decent job.
Playing at Loyola is always tough, can’t take that game for granted. Their young guys will improve and be playoff ready.
