    Yes. Much better. Miles made some great adjustments at half-time and gave the defense some new looks.

    That's for sure. Playing half a game will eventually come up and bite you in the short and hairy.

    You said it Bro...The Tigers have some great weapons but they need to play a complete game and finish the damn thing!

    Two things I noticed in this game that I really liked....first, the defense stunted more than Ive seen in a while. They finally gave way to the front 4 just trying to bull rush and changed things up...we were finally able to put pressure on the QB even when we didnt bring the full out blitz. Second, in the second half, Peterson replaced Mcray in the dime package. I REALLY am liking what Im seeing out of Peterson. The kid is HUGE already and Moffit has barely had a chance to get to him. Cant wait to see this kid next year!!

    First half defense was good too, not as good as 2nd half but certainly not as bad as being assumed. We had a goal line stand that was not given and the only other way they moved the ball was a few QB scrambles (for his life) and a massive hail mary pass completed down field on a play where the QB was flushed out of the pocket by a good pass rush.
