Robinsons play might have cost us the game alone - but It's one game without his top two targets so I'll let it slide this time. As for the game overall I thought we abandoned the run way too early...there was one drive mid way through the second half where we went out with three straight pass plays (all incomplete) for a grand total of :28 seconds. We had run the ball successfully up to that point...but instead we put N'Western in great field position with a butt load of time and they ended up scoring on the next posession. With our personell...the best way to beat the spread offense - is to keep them off the field. Grind the clock and at least keep the game as close as possible. N'Western only had the ball for 5:00 in the first half - and we ended up holding onto a 3-0 lead. Absolutely horrible second half.
