Thank God we won because we played very well...we still have to learn how to finish games, but I loved the aggressive play calling, the intensity of the defense and the overall effort...stay aggressive offensively because we have the weapons and Melville is capable of using all of them...

Amazing game and cardiac ending. Kept the Rams running game in check, particularly Edmonds; the defense played great, except for some long passes we just never could stop. One bugaboo I noticed from sitting high in the Dunlap stands was our lack of good tackling...still. Need to continue to improve on that and learn not to arm tackle....we're not going to take guys down with that type of tackling, granted the Firdham players were fast, big, and mostly scholarship grade.

Noticeable was the spirit of the team and the energy - a complete improvement spiritually by everyone on the sidelines to support the team. The energy and enthusiasm rubbed off on the O and D, and you could feel the mojo was with Gate all game.....even during those last few seconds...and when the two- point conversion was batted away all that pent up enthusiasm exploded, and rightfully so. It's great to see the players get the result showing they can play with anyone in the PL. This is the signature win of the year IMO.

I hope these guys keep that energy. It was great to see them play so hard and fight to the end--haven't seen the team that excited for a game since the 2012 Lehigh game. If they keep bringing that kind of energy week after week, they will keep playing--pretty good incentive.

Top five tackers on D were linebackers and D-line. Not sure when the last time that happened was but that's a really good sign.

Agree on the staying aggressive on O--though there were certainly a lot more passes in the 4th than usual. Probably the fewest read option plays in the past five years and the offense was better for it. 25, 29. 80, 3 and a bunch of other guys can make plays. Keep 15 on the attack mode and keep winning!!!

The Future is 100% correct. Good analysis. Keep Jake aggressive and the team has to keep that aggressive mind set!
