Wheels came off early and often.

Offense needs 1st downs to be successful and stay on schedule. We ran the ball on 1st downs but ended up with lots no gains to 2 yards. 2nd down would be an incomplete pass. Setting up 3rd and longs. Known pass plays where defense pass rush can pin the ears back and secondary can play the sticks aggressively.

Our opening drives ended on long 3rd downs:

1st drive (4 plays) - 3rd and 13 (punt)
2nd drive (3 plays) - 3rd and 10 (gregory int to td .. score is 0-11)
3rd drive (6 plays) - 3rd and 7, went for it on 4th and 2 = Parsons sack fumble to td. core 0-18)

4th drive (4 plays) - 3rd and 8 (punt)
5th drive (3 plays) - 3d and 6 (punt)
6th drive (5 plays) - 3rd and 15 (punt)
7th drive (1 play) - kneel down to end the half

-------------------------

7 drives in the first half (bc the boys had 2 defensive TDs so we get ball right back)

Our paper cut offense stalls if we dont get to 3rd and shorts. Or a penalty happens.

No margin for error.
