Much has been said about how Grantham had the D in perfect position yesterday, all of it true. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, I told my son that we were in all the right places, now can we be strong enough to finish this thing?
Chump’s S&C had us hurt all the time. Sharkboy’s was nonexistent. Not the case anymore. Savage has fixed that.
We just went toe to toe with a good team and were just as strong physically. It’s been a while since we could say that week in and out. We owned the LOS. The Oline woes have more to do with technique and more likely skill vs. strength. Our DLine and Lbs weren’t pushed around at all. I saw Reese run through their guard like he wasn’t there, then watched Houston repeat the performance on the other guard a few plays later. Perine torched their D on that long run.
Savage has these guys mentally and physically tough as anyone. That makes Mullen’s job so much easier. Who knows what our record will be going forward, it’s just refreshing to know we won’t be looking like second grade girls on the field.
