I'm happy with the win, of course, but really if they convert that onside kick then in all likelihood we are 2-2 and thinking of how we dominated for 55 minutes but didn't win. I understand the concept of the umbrella D to keep it in front of you and make the tackle so the clock runs, but it almost cost the game. We came on the field at the end of the first half wanting to hold them to a FG and let them drive. Then, knowing they needed two scores we backed off at the end of the game too. If they happen to burn you then they beat you. Otherwise you are trying not to lose which is what so many people hated about last year.
