The losing team always wants to replace somebody on their staff. I remember a few years ago the clamor on this board to get rid of Tim Albin; lately, though, he's been labeled a genius, and maybe moreso after the 4th & 4 call tonight. Games are generally decided by the team that keeps its composure, and players being in the right place at the right time and making the play.
I'm not seeing anything new with our defense that is any vulnerable than before. For the last few years, we've been a "Bend, don't break" defense...avoid giving up the big plays and make the other team work. We made them work, but Marshall managed to convert a LOT of 3rd downs. However, making them work eventually leads to them making mistakes and the late turnovers. We gave up two TDs on Marshall's first two drives, then kept them out of the endzone other than the 3rd TD when Marshall got the ball on a punt return to about our 42 yard-line, so the defense had a short field to defend.
Personally, I think our TD drives were more impressive, with lengths of 68, 96, and 80 yards. Especially the 96 yard one to close out the half. A really good game with both teams taking blows and battling back.
