Damn it. Not the way I wanted to start the year. Gave up a ton of passing yards (394). They exposed the pass defense that I was worried about, and it's not getting better anytime soon.
Our passing game was solid, with Britt and Underwood having good games. Our QB Teel was okay, but threw an INT.
The running game wasn't special. With Young getting the bulk of the carries, he ran the ball 15 times for 62 yards. I'd like to get Robinson more carries.
They outgained us on offense 532 yards to 335 yards.
Going 3-10 on 3rd down didn't help us either. Ugh.
