If we can be more efficient in the running game and eliminate mistakes, we can be a pretty good offense. We had some passing opportunities, but I didn t want to get into an all-out passing game. We wanted to run the ball effectively and we made adjustments to facilitate the running game against the eight-man front. I m patient. I ve been in enough of these type of games to know you just keep playing.
Strange things happen but they have a way of working themselves out.
In most games, there is some jockeying by both teams early in the game. You have to feel around to find out what the other team is doing, then adjust to it. We are happy to come home and get a win in front of our home crowd. In the first half, we were a little rusty, but in the second half, we got into a rhythm and got things going. He got behind the safety, and I tried to throw it out there and let him get under it.
