If DV was doing all the bullying they would have ran it down their throats in the 3d already trailing by 14 They were driving in the 3rd and then they had those back to back to back false starts on 4th and 2. That drive killed more than half of the quarter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durham ran for a ridiculous 309 yards last year. Yesterday in the 2d half he had 3 carries for 4 yards. (His total yards from last year were cut in half.) DS made great strides improving their OL/DLs. their OL bullied DV, Bailey had lots of time to complete passes and the run game was just as effective. The main reason the O put up 42 pts. if Riden played they would have controlled the clock n ran it down DV throat, limiting DVs possessions. It would have been a 38-24 type game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weren’t use to trailing in the 3d by 14. the pressure got to them. Durham didn’t go off like they thought so they panicked like they did in ‘21 v NS in the title game when NS took the lead 17-10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fake punt putting the game out of reach and turnovers The quality, speed and size of the RB is definitely a factor. They probably never would have punted with riden and trawick in the game. The fake punt didn’t lose the game and wouldn’t have been needed. The secondary getting torched right out the gate did. Having sloppy STs did. Those weren’t flukes. DS scored 14 points and only ran 1 offensive play. And it was the same kid, and their best athlete. Why the hell kick it to him to begin with? Because DV didn’t focus on details like that.

That's what i would've done. You explained in a lot of words him taking adv of the opportunity. Lol of course he wanted to go up 21. His mentality is different from samples, he’s going to take more risks and stick the dagger in a team. He was successful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did several times in the red zone. If they didn’t stop them then why did Durham only have 3 carries in the 2d half for 4 yards? What stopped him? Hell, that’s not even getting past the LOS on avg. Like I said, a healthy DS, and Durham and co. would rarely see the field DV just needs to regroup, work on some things and get ready for NS. This one is done. Edited October 29, 2023 by Horsefly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that’s 7 weeks away still. DV has time to address their issues. But giving up 42 points on defense isn’t going to get it done v north shore.
