Man our guys on defense can really tackle. That is the key to this three man front defense. Shout out to the linebackers. Before the season, they were a perceived weakness. They are play makers. Big plays at big times. So fun to watch this team.

It's a ten yard penalty. Kickoff into endzone defaults at 25, kickoff out of bounds is ten yards. I think the stat guy just missed one.
Is this what good coaching feels like? Is this what winning feels like?
great game today. Not sure if TT would have gotten more than 10 points if the officials would have bothered to call half of the blatant holding calls. The one on Peavy in the backfield on their first TD was a head lock.
When Spears picked off that pass & rumbled for a TD, I let out a loud scream of excitement and scared two of my daughters (who were engrossed with their school homework). It was epic! Excellent defensive effort today (again)!!
Then why do they throw a flag? Not saying you're wrong, but if that's all it is, then why don't they throw a flag for touch backs?

What? They don't love crashing and burning in conference play every year? Weird.
I think there's a lot of reasons that we are playing better as the season goes along. Last year we saw quite a bit of improvement as the season went along as well. Kempt isn't a world beater, but his presence in the lineup has caused us to rely on the running game more often, which should be one of our strengths IMHO. Seemed like we went pass first, second and third with Park in there. We've been able to keep our defense off the field more with sustained drives, keeping them fresh, and they are really playing well. That just my two.
If we aren't bowling this year, something went way wrong. But at this point, we're a contender for the conference title, as crazy as that sounds.
I'm loving this!

There was a late one where their guy was behind our guy, arm around his neck, while he stretched toward the quarterback. Pretty much impossible to miss if you’re watching the game.
I disagree. His accuracy and touch have been just what this receiving corps needed. Kempt hits the receivers in stride, and the ball is where their hands are. Seriously... nobody has seen the massive improvement in catch rate with him at QB1?
Park, bless his heart, had developed a case of the yips, and overthrows were happening far too often. I'll take Kempt and his so-called game management every time.
Kick out of bounds .. there is an option of penalty yards and re-kick OR take the ball with it administratively spotted, in this case at the 35.
