Since our run defense seemed to better in the 2nd half of the game I decided to focus on those plays to see what went right instead of being a pessimist and looking at how we failed in the 1st half. The biggest thing I noticed is we dropped the exotic looks and went with more standard 3-4 on 1st and 10. This led to more pass attempts on early downs and better results via the run. Below is a gif of every run play in the 2nd half, enjoy.
Summary, we did really well. Moving to traditional 3-4, having success with that, and the score of the game led to us only facing 6 runs in the 2nd half.
3rd Quarter
FIRST DRIVE
1st play of drive , 1st n 10
Pack in 3-4, Keke penetrates, Summers fills the hole, and Lancaster sheds to make the tackle with Barnes. Well done.

2nd play of drive, 2nd n 7
Pack is in traditional nickle now after decent run stop on 1st down. 3DL and a ILB is replaced by a DB. Amos is up at the LOS. All DL get a stalemate, Summers fills the intended hole, RB bounces to other side and Amos fills that hole. Well done, setting up a 3rd n 3.

7th play of drive, 3rd n 2
Pack in 3-4. DL holds up alright, LB’s are there, King comes off the edge, but the back powers through for the 1st down. Not bad, Barnes could have been better.
