WKU was worn down on both sides of the ball in the second half...

We expect perfection but the stats suggest we played well.

We had about 20 minutes of some very weak line play to start the game, on both sides of the ball. We had started getting it together during the second half of the 2nd quarter and then the defense and special teams came out like they were pissed off to start the 3rd. That was exactly what I was looking for, something I hadn't seen as much as I wanted this season.

In the second half our D played with some fire in their bellies and it was great to see. Kelle Sanders was laying the wood to WKU on special teams and Nikia Eason is quietly having a very good season.

I had to LOL at Ryan Davis on his block return. See him grab the blocker and try to sling him out of his way? Dude saw the endzone and was a like a hungry dog! Great play all around.
