harris can't break tackles. I agree he's nowhere near 100% healthy

I wouldn't mind taking a look at Johnny Augustine running the ball for a few carries

Doesn't seem to have the speed to break one to the outside either

24 point lead with less than 20 mins to go...

He's going down on first contact. He should be rested. 

A little too safe....the have to go for the jugular...we are still giving Edm hope with all these Fgs...

Duke Williams body language is pretty telling when things aren't going well for him. 

This is a Mark Nelson D... wtf is going on here

Nichols rolls out throws for 3 incomplete.... Meh.

We need ten so throw for 6 & we get 8.... Typical LaPo. 

4th quarter coming up we can't puke this one up?....................... can we

Ah second half Lapo is back... we need 10 so throw a 3 yard pass

Don't want to take chances, eh Floyd? A mistake could cost us the game, don't ya know...

This defence is just so satisfying to watch today

Without the Defensive turnovers, this game would be 7-3...  yikes.

Wow this D is just straight dominant

I don't think he's thrown one other than the pass to Adams, over 10 yds all night

I could live with Nichols playing like this if the defence plays like this the rest of the year. Granted, Reilly has no receivers at this point but he is being forced into mistakes. 

Get Harris out of there

They need more drives.  Other than that can live with the unspectacular play, just need more first downs and drives, and avoid turnovers like tonight so far.

Would like to see LaFrance getting some touches...

Oh he’s absolutely still been pedestrian at best but it’s an improvement on being the sole reason for losses.

Yeah, Harris needs to be benched for his own good. 

The offence has been unspectacular but they've made enough plays when they really had to and have avoided turning the ball over.  With this defensive gem it is all they needed.
