So it STILL is gonna depend upon our defense in the 2nd half. We SHOULD have shut them OUT, be up by MORE...and we can win this just by playing them EVEN the rest of the way.
However, if we go INTO it with that attitude, we could LOSE it--and THAT would be a disaster.
No, Billy has to get them calm, ready, poised to come out and continue to win the line of scrimmage. This D can clearly hold its own--though they don't have depth and MAY get tired.
But if they can hold the lead, it'll be the OTHER guys who fade.
I REALLY am anxious to see what we get from here.
D holds, offense pulls away.
Defense fades, I don't know that this offense doesn't carry on with the bumbling it began to show at the end of the FIRST half.
This may be the most crucial "halftime adjustment" so far--"What can y'all do with a STRONG LEAD AND PERFORMANCE?"
Here's your chance to SHOW THE WORLD!
