re: Did we really expect anything less on D and O vs TT?

On offense, no. I expected to move and score at will, TT is the worst defense in D-1 college football and they were being coached by interns going into the bowl game.

But I will say defensively we seemed to play with more passion and intensity than I expected. I was impressed with the energy and effort. If their QB hadn't made so many spectacular and really unbelievable plays they don't even get the 27 they got. D stepped it up I thought.
