Keeping a big lead.

Post by BIGHORSE »

If we can get on top tomorrow, we need to keep playing to win and not

get too conservative.

Or BYU playing very lax in the 3rd quarter against Boise, when they had the big lead at half. Dangerous for college teams often to get large leads.

The D continued to shut down Memphis' O last week even with the blow up going on with our offense. The D wasn't the issue and played well enough to keep a huge lead. We eliminate 3 stupid plays, heck just one of them, and we cruise against Memphis.

The good news is we continued to play well despite giving away so many points. In the really real world, if a team gives up 20 points on three turnovers (all of them direct points), a defeat is assured. That we gave away 20 points and still had a full possession lead when time expired is remarkable.
