We came into this game with high expectations but unfortunately fell short with a final score of 23-31. Despite the loss, there were some standout performances that I’d like to highlight. Shedeur Sanders, our quarterback, had a mixed game. He threw for 273 yards and managed to connect for 2 touchdowns, which is commendable. However, the 3 interceptions he threw were costly and something we need to address in practice. Ball security is a priority, and we will be working on decision-making under pressure.
We definitely saw moments of brilliance from Shedeur Sanders today, but as a young quarterback, he’s still learning some crucial aspects of the game. One key area he needs to improve is in taking what the defense gives him and not forcing the ball to his first reads. This led to several of his interceptions today. We’re going to work with him on reading the defense more effectively and understanding that sometimes the best play is to make a safe throw or even check it down. His development is crucial for our offense, and we’re committed to helping him grow in this area. By reducing turnovers and making smarter decisions, I believe Shedeur can really elevate his game and our team’s performance.”
With focused training and practice, we’re confident that Shedeur will adjust and improve, helping us to convert those tight situations into successful plays in future games.
Ja’Quez Cross was a bright spot today, contributing both on the ground and through the air. He ran for 59 yards and a touchdown and caught 3 passes for another 70 yards and a touchdown. It’s clear that Ja’Quez has the capability to be a dual-threat in our offense, and we plan to utilize his skills going forward.
On defense, Talanoa Hufanga did a solid job with 7 tackles and a sack. It’s efforts like his that keep us competitive and give us a chance to be in games like this.
Overall, our team fought hard but we need to minimize our mistakes and capitalize on our opportunities better. The Raiders played a strong game, and credit goes to them, especially to Dylan Edwards who really challenged our defense.
Looking ahead, we’ll be focusing on improving our execution and decision-making. We’re going to review the game footage, learn from our mistakes, and prepare rigorously for next week’s matchup. We believe in this team and its potential, and we’re committed to getting back on track.
