UCD took advantage of our over pursuing and, quite frankly, started to take control of the line of scrimmage.
The first point for sure; the second, not so much. It was our "over-pursuing" that caused the turnovers, wasn't it? Bottom line, shutout 2nd half; zippo.
:lol: :lol: :lol: Yeah, I love it. They "took control of the line of scrimmage" and parlayed that into exactly ZERO points. Well done, UCD.
You should read my entire post.... I said the Defense forced the turnovers, that is something good defenses do. But any one who watched the game could see that in the second half, UCD offensive line busting open some big holes. We got a shut out in the second half because we forced the turnovers, not because we dominated the line of scrimmage.
And despite all that domination in the 3rd quarter, they averaged a whopping 2.7 yards per carry...let's look at the 4th quarter UCD Drives:
Drive 1: 8 yard pass, 1 yard run, fumble (recovered by Kidder)
Drive 2: R-5, R-0, P-6, R-2, R-2, P-5, Punt
Drive 3: P-16, P-incomlete, P-4, P-Incomplete, P-17, P-Sack(-)5, R-6, P-2, P-Sack(-)4
Drive 4: P-Incomplete (Penalty), P-Incomplete, P-Sack(-)11, Pass-Incomplete
So again, adjustments were made and their run plays were 5,0,2,2,6. 5 runs, 15 yards. 3 yards per carry.
Not exactly domination.
Meanwhile, UM's O-line was doing this in the run game in the 4th quarter: 4,2,3,8,8,3,5,1,6,6,5,2.
12 carries. 53 yards. 4.42 yards per carry. And sealing the win. :thumb: :thumb:
