UM fell behind 28-0 but has put up a couple touchdowns of their own, the last a pretty well executed 2-minute drill.
28-14 at the half.

Carbuccia responds to the tough love coaching.
Good minutes from Clerc and Placide. Clerc was good in practice yesterday and gave a toughness lift.
Rest of bench has to step up. (Rollie got more minutes than Parker, and Brown didn't see action.)
Learned hard lessons from Charleston & GB.

Frank postgame...
Not down on our guys, disappointed for our guys. Missed FTs away from being 6-1. Got the stops we needed to turn it around today.
DHS realized he could be great, with confidence and aggression.
Carbuccia still has a lot to learn but his spirit and competitiveness is a plus.

DHS postgame
Follows thru on his pregame promise to have a strong game.
Watched film about how "lazy" he's been. Had to step it up.
Likes the combo with Bettiol.
Great came from Carbuccia (8 PT, 5 A, 4 S)

Frank...
No fight in H1.
Need a lot more from DHS. Too much floating. More fouls than reb. Attitude is good but playing poorly.
Bettiol did better in H2 but was off in H1. Needs consistency.
Bad fouls on late help defense.
Good game from Carbuccia, only one who did well on Allen (career high 27)

UM fought back after being down 12, but gave up 38 points in the paint to a team that wasn't exceptionally big.
Need more from DHS, who only produced 7 & 3 today, hindered with foul trouble.

The good: career high 16 pts from Carbuccia, on 7-9 from the field.
