You can't just gauge two teams by total yardage and turnovers and use that as a measuring stick. The undisciplined things that we've done today are part of our team identity. That's part of the equation. The horrible penalties, the flipping of field position, bad plays on 3rd and 4th down, the awful-timed mistakes. It's all part of our identity, and aside from Branch, the Lions have played disciplined, smart football.
It's what separates good teams from great teams. Just because the game score was 10-3 before halftime with similar yardage totals doesn't mean that there isn't a wide gap between the teams.
