Usually in this series we look back at what happened in the last game, or in some cases the last two games. Not wanting to dwell on bad results, we are flipping the script and looking ahead to the las...
I cannot recall the Legion ever previously using the so-called “Christmas Tree” formation. But in a season that has become an exercise in not just experimentation but also in maximizing de...
