Having watched from Section 32 for thirty years, I have seen our defense bend and break plenty of times against traditional powerhouse programs. But this front seven showed real grit tonight. Cade Uluave was flying around the field all game and totally changed the momentum.

We still stalled out in the red zone too many times in the third quarter, which gave me flashbacks to some rough Mountain West eras, but patience is key here. Kalani made the right adjustments and the staff got us over the finish line. Great win for the Y.
