Olson Deserves Credit
Many factors contributed to this victory. Firstly, Coach Kenny Olson had the entire squad up for the game and certainly deserves a lot of credit. All of the players were "fired up." The defense hit and rushed hard, causing many fumbles and interceptions. Offensive backs moved quickly and surely, taking advantage of excellent offensive blocking.
