I don't know folks, I guess it's an"earn" kind of thing for the cover. Smallwood earned it, excellent in the middle of the D against both pass and run.
When in possession of the ball, McCombs, was our best ground gainer on O, so I guess deserving, and our most successful method of advancing the ball through the air when we had possession, was the punt - so there you have it.
Needless to say, but I will write it anyway - I'd prefer that we find better ways to advance the ball when we've got possession, sooner than later.
