after being down 19-0 ssu finally woke up

notice how after doug pulled a few starters he had to insert them right back in

Dude don't try to spin that. He was switching the rotation the entire game. Seniors that didn't get much playing time during the year were allowed to play in their last game in Robinson stadium. 2nd and 3rd stringers were mixed in with the starters. About half the starters for the game on defense were 2nd stringers.

Some of the moves were also because of a flu bug that ran through the team. Several starters got sick in the past few days ...
