WOW. Looking at the box score here are a few things:
-Sac won the time of possession 35 minutes to 25.
-Held WSU to 95 yards on 25 carries.
-Held WSU to only (yes only given what Higgins racked up the past two weeks) 253 pass yards and 2 TD.
-Higgins was picked once. WSU fumbled once as well but didn't lose it.
-Both teams were horrific on 3rd down. The difference had to be Sac converting 3rd downs when it mattered most.
-0 sacks on Higgins, Hornets only allowed 1. The more I think about it, the more it felt like the Hornet front 4 was a half step away from at least getting contact on Higgins.
-Penalties and yards were about even, but WSU had many costly penalties that kept a Hornet drive alive that started on our own 1 yard line. I don't remember if we scored on it but it definitely turned the field position battle at least. (Was this the FG drive?)
-Hats off the Hornet D. We needed them to step up big and they did. Great job!!!
-Only 6,937 showed up. This needs to improve. It should with this win.
I'll provide my formal write up hopefully by tomorrow. It's time to enjoy this win.
