Some halftime thoughts:
-Offense had a rough start but did better towards the end of the half. Would like to see Dickenson be a bit more aggressive with the playcalling - only seen one shot down the field it resulted in a PIF call. Jitters should be out of Burris by now - time to be a bit more aggressive.
-Defense has actually been good but has given up big plays. Brandon Smith got greedy after his picks lately and there was seven points. The line isn't sacking Durant but has made him throw quickly and not accurately. He is reminding me of Casey Printers a bit with his "heave it and hope" mentality. If the D continues this play and eliminates big plays they'll be fine.
-Return game has been horrible but I'm fine with that as long as the cover team limits returns, which they have.
To summarize, the O needs to just execute a bit better and take some shots downfield, and the D needs to eliminate the big play.
A winnable game.
