"There were 26 plays in the fourth quarter," Kelly said. "Brandon was out there for all 26. And Nolan was out there for 21 of the 26."

But the starters will be Fletcher and Williams.
"I know everybody is on the corners, but man, I went back and looked at every play. We did it as a staff over and over again. And the corners have their share, but it is not them and them alone," Davis said. "I can break down every play that they had and tell you multiple other people that had a breakdown on that play."
