UC ran very poorly in the first half, but did better in the 2nd half.

The defense was stout!

The officials were horrible....some of the worst calls I’ve ever seen.
I didn't get to watch but I did follow play by play and catch the highlights. I'm happy about the rushing yard total...but just as importantly, I'm happy with the balance. We got in a rut there where we were throwing more than 3x as much as our RBs were getting carries. We seem to have solved that. Very encouraging. It's the key to making a bowl game. I know it sounds like a long shot, but we're now into the easiest part of our conference schedule. Getting those extra practices would be HUGE.
