The defense played well enough to win. The offense choked
The D that gave up 300 yards on the ground and never touched McCarthy. That defense?
They actually got a sack on him the play before the first TD run. I think in a 5-man front. Then got out of it immediately. Tunuufi got McCarthy down on a hand slap on his foot that could have caused a fumble.
They bailed out the offense after the second half opening int then gave them the ball back before finally giving up a score again. I honestly kind of thought that if UW could have scored down 27-13 the defense had a good chance at getting them the ball back.
