Whenever one looks at a high score of a game you mainly think about the offense, this wasn’t the case in this situation.

“It was an indication of the team coming together. People usually think it’s only the offense when a game’s score is so high, but in reality the defense, special teams and offense all played a role in this game,” freshman coach Happ Thompson said.
