OFFENSE Souhan's grade: C

Better in second half, but zero offensive points until late second quarter not ideal.

Four turnovers and a TD were overshadowed by late breakdowns.

SPECIAL TEAMS Souhan's grade: C

Locke was effective and Patterson great, but Hester got loose too often.

COACHING Souhan's grade: D

Hard to give coaches credit when their blame is key talking point.
