The holding penalty cost us the TD. Really surprised at all the penalties, but perhaps should not be given last week.

14-0 at half. D playing fairly well generating turnovers although HC is moving the ball. O has been sporadic; surprised our running game hasn’t delivered more.

HC leads Army in first downs 14 to 5.

Not really. That was 1 play from the 1.5 yard line where we ran it in and a holding penalty pulled it off the scoreboard. Then it was 4 plays to get 11.5. Can’t keep having dumb penalties! We ran for 17 yards on the first drive but it was a 3-out due to a holding penalty. Penalties are killing us today.

Agree. No flow in the offense.Very erratic, but to be expected a bit because you want to throw around 1/4 of the time and Daily is an erratic passer. Penalties on O hard to overcome.

3 and out in the first series of the 2H. Holding penalty was a killer.

Clearly penalties have killed us with 3 holds called on the same player.

And while D has held, our tackling and soft coverage is really allowing HC to sustain drives.

Every time we’ve been stopped it’s been due to a holding penalty.

I agree penalties are killing us, but after this penalty we made back about 6 of the 10 yards on the first play , then couldn’t move it 4.5 yards in 3 straight plays. Going shotgun in that situation cedes 5 yards we can’t overcome with this offense.

HC killing us in TOP. Some due to the blocked punt, but 2 of our 4 drives (other than end of half) have been 3 and outs.
