It was fun for the first 50 minutes or so. After thinking about it, I wonder if we suffered from Atlanta Falcon syndrome ... just worn out at the end of the game.
Excuses/reasons for the collapse:
1) a short prep week (6 days instead of 7)
2) a long flight to get to a Dallas
3) the warm weather, 86 degrees at kickoff and warmer than that on the field
4) trying to keep up with a slightly more athletic team for 60 minutes
But the guys generally played well and they were tied a few minutes into the fourth quarter. I was proud of the team as we left the stadium. I expect a closer game next year against SMU in East Hartford. Maybe we'll come out on top.
