Panther fan here...
Your Cyclones effectively shut down our run game. Put us in a situation where to win, we needed:
- Very strong defense that forces punts and at some point scores (which we were fortunate enough to have had)
- Some offensive points out of two ~50 yard field goals (which amazingly we got)
- a mobile QB who could extend plays in spite of pressure (which we’re delighted to have)
- a fumble recovery on your 3OT possession (which we didn’t get)
I was disappointed with the loss, but very pleased to be in a situation where at the end of the game, a win was a possibility.
Here’s to both teams winning the rest our games.
