Wow - while I was expecting to lose sooner or later (actually, far sooner than this), I was not expecting it to come as a 31-14 thrashing. I've not received a drubbing like that in quite a while. Good game, FrogMan!
My defense didn't do diddley squat all day - no sacks, no turnovers, not even a single defended pass! On top of that we surrendered 169 rushing yards - a shameful number from what had been an excellent run-stopping unit. Terrible terrible effort.
Of course, the coach needs to feel some heat here, as he apparently never got the memo about the game plan. As the gentle reader may have noticed, I've built Tucson to be something of a running team. But here's how our coach decided to start the game:
[code020e1bf] 1-10-TUC20 (15:00) TUC 4 Hogan pass was intercepted by SAC 45 Gonzales at the TUC45.
The interception was returned 45 yards for a touchdown! Extra point by SAC 1 Eastman was good.
Score: Sacramento 7, Tucson 0.[/code020e1bf]
"Okay," one might say, "Unlucky start. Better get back to the game plan of running the ball." So what does the coach do?
[code020e1bf] SAC 1 Eastman kicked off 75 yards from the SAC30. Touchback.
Possession to Tucson.

10 of our first 11 plays were passes? The very first of which was an interception returned 45 yards for a touchdown, thankyouverymuch. That was then followed by two hurried incompletions and two sacks. Nice play calling, coach.
Everybody, coach included, is going to be running windsprints this week.
