The irony is the defense made the game changing plays that usually turn the tide. But the offense just couldn't capitalize. The worst of all is that just a couple of plays here and there, and it's a different outcome.
A missed extra point, missed FG, penalty that nullified the long TD pass, second missed PAT, mishandled handled offs, and the two interceptions. (But the defense picked off two passes to snuff an equal number of Nederland drives.)
Any of those opportunities could have changed momentum or been enough to win. It was right there for the taking. But that's how these games go. You either do it or not, and sadly for this group of seniors, the winning formula was just not there.
But tremendous effort by an under appreciated defense. And great job of roaring back in the 4th by the offense. It is a talented group.
