(Control the Controlables!). We lost offensively on first down runs but did well on second and third down runs. When we passed it was the reverse. We won a small majority of first and second down passes but did poorly on third down passes. (46-86). Young quarterbacks and mediocre receivers were the culprits there. But we also dominated on third down passes (85-47) so it appears that it’s just tough to complete passes on third down when the opposition is expecting you to pass. Of course, with a couple of exceptions, we did not face strong passing attacks this year. Ironically, considering the way things started, the strongest part of our team may have been our pass defense (252-199) [/QUOTE]
