The DOG penalty inside the 5 killed us.  Hate that.  Hated that all season.

That wasn’t really the killer.  We wound up getting a first and goal two yards further behind because of the roughing.  The problem was one that has plagued us all season long... we have no idea how to deal with the weak side rusher who largely comes in unblocked.  That’s why we’ve used the toss play a bunch, but you can’t do that at the goal line because of the risk for a loss (though on fourth and goal it’s not a bad idea).
