Yep. They had overwhelming advantages at our weakest points. It was enough to wreck the game, and it did. I knew going in we were gonna get killed on the left side, and thatvSmith was going to have his hands full with Carter. Thats why I thought the only chance we had was to go with Thuney at Guard, that way we'd kind of have our strengths against theirs, but the coaches didn't see it that way. That tells me that Andy thought the other options at LT were terrible. But man, if I were in position to do anything I would have moved Thuney back to G in game and taken my chances.
