Blame-Diffusion Replaces Accountability After 16-0 Collapse

The post-game locker room was punctuated by an unnamed player's expletive-laced roar, breaking a "morose" silence—a visceral sign of internal fracture. Willie Jefferson's comments explicitly deflected to specific offensive failures (Poke Wilson's out-of-bounds catch) and defensive penalties (Jake Kelly's PI), while Brady Oliveira shouldered blame ("I left plays out there"), revealing a split in ownership between the units after the offence's historic 16-to-2 first-down collapse in the second half.
