Grading the Cougars: B

Quarterback: B-

Brink’s one big-throw drive and one ugly interception seem to cancel each other out; fumbles are an issue

Running backs: C

Contributed very little save for one Hutsona run

Wide receivers: B

Tough day to be a pass-catcher, but Hill and Gibson made big plays on the game’s big drive

Offensive line: C-

Handled Beaver blitzes poorly and didn’t open many holes for the run game

Defensive line: A-

Yvenson Bernard didn’t manage a single big run and Matt Moore felt the pressure, too

Linebackers: A

Davis became the star of the game with three sacks

Defensive backs: B+

Frampton’s interception was one of the day’s best plays

Coaching: B

Nice job by the defensive staff to overcome a somewhat lackluster overall effort
