Another stat for our bend but don’t break defense: opponents made 30 trips into the red zone but only scored 13 TD’s. Pretty strong.

We were strong in most special teams categories. The exception being KO return defense, we were 124.

Another key hire is Special Teams Coach, need to find a good one to replace Stu Holt.

Sure wish we had been able to stop Penn State on 4th & 2 with a minute to go when we were up a touchdown...

Apparently he used to mumble and bumble so much the players would get confused on what coverages he was calling.
