Grinding out a win until the other D got tired

A very slow start to the game. Ottawa was determined to shut down the run, evident as Armstead was ineffective. 32 yards on 10 carries. The Rider OC made effective change of attack by focusing on the pass game which eventually led to a couple of big running plays later in the game. Once again, 2-3 dropped passes by Rider receiving core. None worse then the Redblack drop in the end zone after a perfect pass from Massoli.

Masoli had two TD passes dropped by the receivers. Could have been a closer game. This could have also effected momentum

Difference being that team Green overcame the issues presented by what the Red Blacks were doing…
And the dropped balls
