We couldn't get off the field in 3rd and long on defense and couldn't stay on the field on offense. They went 1-3 in the red zone on offense and gave up three scores on defense. We have played three really good football teams to start the year. Combined, all three went 32-4 last year and are all undefeated this year. We need to get back to work, keep improving on both sides of the ball, and go 1-0 this next week."
