Chinstrap post nailed it.
"Angry young men win football games". DKR said it years ago and it is on my avatar signature line.
FWIW, I remember my Sr. year in HS - we had a mediocre team but we got focused & angry the week before a game against a much better rival team that was undefeated. We upset them and won by 10 points. We played much like arky. People around us said why can't you play like that every game? ....
Anyway, arky WAS hungry, angry, very aggressive, "chip on shoulder", determined to win last eve. Horns were not focused, not fired up, little to no passion and not determined. Furthermore they were not ready for that environment and lacked leadership.
Coaches share a large part of the blame for this debacle.
