- 5d Ryan Wood (X) Ty'Ron Hopper saved a first down with that QBH. Javon Bullard had simulated pressure too far inside, leaving John Metchie III wide open in the right flat. Bullard wasn't getting back to cover, but Hopper forces the incompletion. Shockingly, the refs restrained themselves from throwing a roughing flag on a clean hit.

- Two guys whom I think deserve some much due credit for last night: When their names were called, Brycen Tremayne and John Metchie stepped up. Both guys were able to take advantage of reps and make plays. Metchie, who I had off the initial 53 (lame I know, I’ll run laps during the bye), has fit in this offense quite well the past two weeks and Young trusts him. Tremayne is more than a special teams ace.
