We were flaky against the running back who could get outside and our pass coverage was not stellar. However, as the game went on, the defense made adjustments which stopped the bleeding.<br /><br />Our guys never panicked. <br /><br />We could stop the run between the tackles.<br /><br />So as we go into the championship game against Oregon, I feel pretty good about what we can do. Randall Cobb is a fair analog to the Ducks' running attack. We handled it, as well as Ingram and Lattimore. <br /><br />Yeah, we will take a few hits outside, but stopping the run will pay huge dividends as Fairley softens up the quarterback, thus creating problems in the air. The term "wounded duck" will take on new significance.<br /><br />I just hope nobody sat around eating buckets of chocolate chip cookies over the long lay off. While we went to awards banquets, they were practicing. That troubles me a little.<br /><br />We must be in the best physical conditioning of the season for this game. Fortune smiles on the young, though, so hopefully there won't be too much drop off in stamina.War Eagle AC-47https://www.blogger.com/profile/16209779615792197607noreply@blogger.com
