Thanks for breakdown.
By way I had predicted "35-7 as we gelled".
I was feeling pretty smart till we started self destructing.

In second half did see curl (gamble around Kerge) - no impact but I enjoyed watching it .

looks like Roof made some more 2nd half adjustments

IIrc, our D faced ~46 plays in the 1st half while our O had ~27. We also allowed 300+ yds.

Fumbles happened on the GT 3 and GT 33. I think these fumbles covered the hidden issue in the 1st half.

They certainly did. So did going for it on 4th instead of a FG by the dukies. I think they were on the 30 or 35?

I don't care how many damn yards we give up if we keep em off the scoreboard. We got stops in the first half which is great. Bent but didn't break. Worked in half 1 not so much in half 2. The turnovers we gave up hurt but that's football. D has to overcome and get more stops in half 2. 28 points surrendered was painful.

The second half doesn't happen in a vacuum. After the first series of 2nd half, we had basically played what had been a whole game.

No I agree. There is a lot going wrong on D. 1st half performance would have been ok if replicated in 2nd. But it wasn't. And the average for both halfs is disturbing.

Talking about vacuums...we seemed to have some in the flats and over the middle. PJ makes a difference. I'd like to see PJ back and more Lewis. I think Lewis has better wheels than our other backers. We got probs though.

I told the people sitting near me in the stands, as the teams were heading to the locker rooms at halftime, that if you were DOOK, you would have to feel pretty good about your chances of mounting a comeback. That is the biggest problem with the bend but don't break. We bent so so far, far enough to go past the yield strength, even if we didn't break. There was permanent damage done, just like body blows in the early rounds of a boxing match while maybe forfeiting a few on the scorecard. You can't give up 350 yards in a half of football (regardless of the number of points) and have it be OK, especially when there weren't many big plays contributing.
