beat ourselves.
Now aTm is good and will win their share the balance of the year, but:
We went 3 and out 2x to end the first half giving them time to score just before halftime. All we needed was a couple of first downs on either of those drives and that TD does not happen.
And yes the Williams fumble, the drop by Shump...which was not a great pass by the way....and having to get the field goal instead of a TD on the overthrown pass in the 1st Q were the difference maker plays in the game. Just can't get Fgs and beat aTm.
Also the punter shanked a couple and we lost field possession.
Time of possession was better with Dak running and he threw ok but not great as he has been. TOP would have been even better with the additional first downs we needed I mentioned.
But the D played well to hold aTm as they did. They are explosive. The O put the D in difficult spots.
That said, we beat ourselves. We are a pretty good team and will at least be in every game we play this year. No one will blow us out and looking at the schedule we have we could easily win out:
Troy yes, La Tech yes, Kentucky yes, Missouri yes, ( although their new Qb looked pretty good), Alabama can be beaten with our D at our place if the O shows up so yes, Arkansas is away but they can be beaten with our D as well if the O shows up and Ole Miss is at our place..nuff said.
We are so close....just need to stop beating ourselves.
Fire away!
