Two early interceptions set the tone for the day. Under pressure all game.

Missed blocks, dropped passes, few yards.

Anderson’s long catches may have been only bright spot for Cougs.

Six sacks, a handful of pressures and few holes.

Allowed 213 yards; Stewart and Johnson combined for 129 on 17 carries.

They struggled to contain Dixon but came through with pressure at times.

The group got beat up, with two starters and a backup out at the end.

The punt coverage team got the most work and did a near-perfect job.

Interception on the opening drive opened floodgates, and nothing could close them.
