00:14Now ultimately, this team just got outplayed.
00:16The first two touchdowns were picked six by the Lions and ultimately that led to a downfall
00:22for the Mustangs offensively.
00:25Despite the loss, SUU quarterback Kevin Jennings recorded 20 of 36 for 195 yards and one touchdown.
00:32Mustangs head coach Brett Lashley stated in a post-game presser that those first two touchdowns
00:36really did make it very hard for the Mustangs to even attempt to crawl back and try and
00:42tie the score or outscore them.
00:44We got behind the way we did.
00:46It made it hard for us to play the way we needed to, to hang in this kind of game and
00:51play good team football.
00:53Credit them for making those plays and like I said, we have no one to blame but us.
00:57SUU may not be ending the season the way that they wanted to, but what an incredible season
01:01that they had.
