5 consecutive 3 and outs

[Fjoinkay]

And it started at the end of the second quarter and ran through the entire 3rd quarter. SU blew a chance to put the game away with a drive to end the first half, and then to come out to start the second half with another drive. Nope, 3 and out 5 times in a row. How does that happen? I think there are too many factors to know where to begin.

Refs missed a clear facemask on Bailey on the first drive after the half.

Not even close to the sole reason for that ugly display, but a first down and 15 yards there could've started us in the right direction.

I missed that. It would have helped for sure. What bothers me is that the offense had already scored 31 points when it stalled into the 3 and outs.
