I think spags was way way ahead of the game from that end. His priority was clearly stopping the run and it showed. Our defense was mostly solid despite the blowout.
That plays more to our strengths on offense.

Yes the defense played a good game. They just had to play the whole game in one half cause the offense couldn't sustain a drive. They got tired and started to press to make a play in the 2nd half.
