Tip of the cap to Wayne. They played a better game than HLV.
I actually disagree with you there. Wayne outplayed HLV in the fourth quarter, but they were doing just enough to keep it close for a long time. The sweeps to Kiefer that worked against Murray were shut down most of the night, but he finally came up with a back-breaker late in the game. That run, and Lain's 2-point conversion on the previous touchdown, were two of the biggest plays of the game. That and the fumbled snap near midfield. Wayne's reserve DT was really disruptive up front when he went in, enough to make it worth taking a couple penalties. Helluva game on both sides; lots of heart from both teams.
Any word on what happened to Kriegel on his TD run to pull within 6? It looked like an ankle or a foot from Wayne's sideline, but curious to know how serious it was. That play pretty well ended any hopes of a comeback. Just seemed to take all the wind out of HLV's sails.
