Without Hall's ball management, they woulda run us into the ground & we would not have been able to stop them.

Defensively, our team last season was understandably quite a bit ahead of this present squad's D. But this year's squad has SO much more defensive upside.

We need to give that a bit more time, though. Voigt's D looks promising — but it's clearly not easy to master. Riverside looked like they were shooting specifically to kill it; like they'd really studied their film on our previous game — so I think they gave us a great challenge & some great film to build from.
