Grades vs. Southeastern LA


Offense: B-

A tale of two offenses, running backs flourished but passing game nearly cost the Green Wave a victory

QB: D-


Both Scott Elliott and Anthony Scelfo failed to get anything going through the air. Add in 3 interceptions and the quarterbacks were in for a long night. Elliott often looked out of sync with his receivers missing open targets multiple times

RB/FB: A+

303 yards and 5 TD's? Matt Forte had a once-in-a-lifetime performance unlikely to be matched any time this season

WR/TE: C

Made some nice catches to keep drives going but were often victimized by drops and fumbles. However, none of it matters when your running back has a performance like Saturday night

OL: A

Forte doesn't get 300+ yards without help from the offensive line. They also gave Elliott ample time to sit in the pocket to find receivers

Defense: B

The defense was shaky in the first half, especially against the run but played with more energy and pitched a shutout in the second half until a minute left in the fourth quarter

DL: B

The defensive line, namely Antonio Harris, constantly put pressure on Lions quarterback Brian Babin and forced him to consistently throw the ball away or take sacks. Lions running back Jay Lucas found a lot of room to run in the first half but that evaporated in the second half

LB: B-

Much like the defensive line, they allowed a lot of yards on the ground in the first half, but played better as the game went on

CB: B

The defensive secondary were victimized by the play action early but also came up with a fumble recovery and limited Babin's passing yards in the second half
