with the exception of Hudson, these guys competed/won against solid competition. Meanwhile, Ross was smoked against its better competition with "best" win against one it trailed 36-14 at one point. Finally, Ross typically mentally/physically fatigued this time of year.

I reiterate I hope I'm mistaken
