RE: The we won stuff. Think of it more like a football game
We are in the 2nd quarter 5 minutes left before half. Score is tied. The baggers have the ball in the red zone. It is 4th and 1 with the ball the 10 yard line. Coach Cruz is a fool and instead of kicking the field goal for an easy 3 points they go for it and they do not make the first down. They turn the ball over on downs. We won the battle for that series.
But now we have the ball 1st and 10 on our own 10 yard line with 5 minutes before half time.
We cannot rest. And this is not a pretty game it is a slug fest. But it was a good defensive stand.
