Why the UAB may be just what was needed.

That game was never on the line. When they took the lead, we started blitzing and ended up two scores at the half. We had at least a three score lead for most of the second half until they added a bomb late on a freshman CB for some garbage points.

Notice Dan started running Dak more when the game was getting a little bit dicey in the second quarter. Right after they took a 20-19 lead, we easily ran the ball right down their throat and took the lead back for good.

But why even let it get to that point? Step on their throat at the very beginning and don't let off till they stop squirming. Who cares if the backups play garbage time? At least they are getting time.

I think things snowballed more than the staff thought it could. At that point the pretty ass whipping was out the window. Put the gas down and jumped back up by twenty. Wasn't pretty, and pissed as anyone about the full team swap outs. All I or we can hope, Dan got that crap out of his system.
Hopefully Dak stays healthy. Have to stay optimistic at this point.

Yeah, we definitely had a 6-point lead at halftime. And UAB got the ball back to start the half. I don't think we were really going to lose the game, but you let a team hang around like that and bad, unpredictable things can happen to you.
