Well THAT was unexpected....

For a game that has historically been a low scoring affair, Saturday's meeting between the Dawgs and the Chickens was anything but typical. For the fan it had a little bit of everything, trick plays, a safety, a kickoff return for a TD, a pick-six and plenty of penalties!!

For the most part I think the Dawgs played a good game. It was sloppy (108 yards of penalties and 3 turnovers), the defense gave up ALOT of yardage (425 yards of total offense to include 313 passing yards) but by the same token the offense was exciting (61 yard reverse for a TD) and the special teams weren't quite so special (in a bad way) but were special in a good way (100 yd KO return, blocked extra point).

Ultimately it was a W which we sorely needed at this point and it sets up well for next week at Arkansas. I still don't have a "warm fuzzy" about the offense (which I will discuss more tomorrow) but I do feel better than last week. Despite giving up 37 points and a ton of yards the defense from my vantage point played well. Many times the pressure was there and Garcia was able to scramble out of trouble and make a play.

More tomorrow on the specifics of the Offensive performance!

Go Dawgs!
