I couldn't believe what I was seeing during those first five possessions. But then it was like our defense flipped a switch, pitching a shutout the rest of the way.
Meanwhile our offense did the opposite. Here are their second half possessions:
7 plays, 16 yards, Punt
1 play, 0 yards, Interception
5 plays, 34 yards, TD to Brown
4 plays, 63 yards, TD to Tears
6 plays, 17 yards, Punt
8 plays, 70 yards, TD to Brown
Some clutch plays on that last drive included the screen to Marcus Jones on 3rd and ten that picked up the first with help from a nice block by Wesley, followed by the 2nd and ten completion to Brinkman for a first down. The next play was the final TD to Brown.
I have watched the highlights like 20 times now and am so impressed with the throws Childers made and the catches our receivers made. Just great stuff. If they could do that with regularity no one would stop this offense.
