They played good defense in the 1st half. The offense and TOs were why it was close.

The defense in the 2nd half was up there with some of our best defensive stretches from last year's group. Mo Dioubate can absolutely be a key player for us this season and he proved it tonight. Settled into playing a role on offense instead of forcing the issue, which allowed him to be an asset instead of a liability on that end. We absolutely could use his defense as long as he doesn't crater the offensive flow.

Grant Nelson on the other hand needs a therapist. He has so much talent, but would rather fade to the background too often instead of being aggressive. Played great defense to his credit and I've always thought he's been better there than given credit for, but man he's wasting his talent away.
