character four game good jump late lines maybe picked using work
We showed good character to keep working, even when we got behind. We picked up our work ethic, and maybe using four lines was a factor. Late in the game we had more jump and that really helped.

We could have won it, but we didn't capitalize and it came back to bite us.
