We just couldn't throw the ball down field. Because of that wind the offense was a bit handcuffed, but it did a good job of fighting and clawing. Koenning was pleased with the tackling by his defense. Our tackling is getting much better. Part of that is because we have better athletes.
Good athletes make better tacklers.
We are definitely improved in that area. The Cowboys produced plenty of good performances on the defensive side of the ball. Junior linebacker John Wilson had a special day. He produced nine total tackles, a tackle for a loss, and was credited with half a sack. The defense came up with three total sacks, and six tackles for losses.
