I think coach Lennon was thinking it was going to be a shootout and it did not materialize. The Sioux defense did a reasonable job of holding on… after he did it once.. he got into a pot committed type of mentality. A lot more points other than the FGs were left on the field: 1) Swing pass INT deep in UNO territory.. a. Lineman must cut the end and QB has to make proper adjustments if that does not happen. This was a 3 or 7 point swing. 2) Dressler wide open on post route a. Thrown by 10 yards.. this is a 7 point swing.. 3) Holding penalty on TD run …7 point swing.. To be honest with you, I think the loss was a good learning experience for both the coaches and players. I look for the Sioux to bounce back next week. I was surprised by this also.
