This was, quite simply, the best defensive football game Tim McGarigle has coached.

Absolute MASTERCLASS.

Look at the PREPARATION on these two plays!

Tell us the guy with the best understanding of what is being run here--ON EITHER SIDE OF THE BALL--is not BRAYDON BRUS!

We see you @BraydonBrus

[West Lot Pirates @westlotpirates]

Absolutely LOVE this.
Watch Mac Uihlein (37) here.

Mac was out in contain on the left flank on this kickoff, but he KNOWS his LB-mate Braydon Brus made this happen, and somehow, amidst all the chaos, he knows EXACTLY where Brus is, and the SECOND NU scores...he finds him💜💜💜

Braun on what he's learned about himself the last few months: "I'm at my best when I'm rooted in my purpose, when I'm rooted in my faith, and I know who I answer to: my God."
