[tsylvester]

It's not as if Indi is doing anything different on defense, just rushing 4, Lamar has just been hanging in the same spot in the picket too long.

Now comes the real tricky time, they could eat all of the clock and kick a field goal to win.

This defense had played great but are tired, the Indi offense had found a way to offset the blitzes with screens, with success.
