They occasionally moved to an under front or a 3-4, but these were very rare; it was even or over and not a whole lot else. Notably they did not give up third and long conversions on the ground.
SUBSTITUTION NOTES: Gentry went out after 15 snaps; Link replaced him. Skill positions out of 53:
- Loveland: 42
- Morris, O’Leary: 38
- Mullings: 33
- Bredeson: 26
- Edwards: 22
- Morgan: 17
- Klein: 13
Charleston, Bell, and Moore all had about a dozen.
