Brunell did a good job - no turnovers and plays smart. You also can't fault Hall --- he made up for the bulk of our scoring last night. If ARE could have gotten just one more yard...then more than likely Hall would have had a chip shot.
Biggest problem right now is Special Teams (namely Frost) and defense -- oddly enough.

The defense allowed 19 points, 86 rushing yards, and 223 passing yards. While not fantastic stats, and though they didn't meet my expectations of them, objectively speaking they were not "Swiss Cheese" or otherwise horrible. I think we've been a little spoiled by Williams' defense the past few years. The did a decent job, even if they couldn't seal the deal.
The offense also played decent, but couldn't seal the deal. Yeah they moved the ball and I was encouraged, but they didn't score 7 points when it counted.
The problem is that we didn't do anything to perfection. Both sides of the ball came up short.
