Small consolation, I guess, but it's nice to see how much NWA has improved over the course of the season. Hanging with Lincoln is no easy task. Too bad about that kickoff return right before the half.

Slow playing a Royal Flush imo
4:07 1st & 10 OWN 26.5 Thom Yorke pitch to Gene Thornton to the right (3.5 yd loss) [tackle: Master of Puppets] 0:13 1st & G OPP 2.5 Thom Yorke pitch to Gene Thornton to the right (2 yd loss) [tackle: Scotty Niedermayer] 2:00 1st & 10 OPP 40 Gene Thornton rush to the left (3 yd gain) [tackle: Safety Kills]
Two big plays, two TFLs, and a basic 3yd gain. Unclear that Gene would have been more consistent for them than their current gameplan. 4 punts - So Cal did a pretty good job.

I was perfectly fine with the KO return before the half tbqh.

Consistency doesn't matter if every 5 hand offs you break one for 70 yards
Not to mention one of those losses is on the goal line, which changes it a bit imo
