“It was times in the game where they weren’t moving the ball,” said Jackson. “We still got to stop them. They don’t score, they don’t win, so that’s kind of how it goes.”
Added Dave Canales, “I thought the defense played an unbelievable game. The run game plan, the execution, the communication, all that stuff that we’ve been really just harping on, you know, is where we have to continue to grow, there were still a couple of things, you know, that that we need to clean up, from a defensive standpoint, but to take advantage of, of some of those opportunities with Chau Smith-Wade with the touchdown, Mike Jack with the interception and that, and then that punch out at the end, you know, it’s just a form of habits, you know, it’s what we’re trying to get done in practice is the more attempts we get on the ball, eventually you can get one out there so I was really proud of the group.”
