GAME REPORTS Roy Cummings reports from Raymond James Stadium Joe Henderson offers his opinions on the loss How Rick Stroud saw it unfold Gary Shelton's morning-after column The defense has no answer for the Jags' running game Ira Kaufman reports from the Jacksonville locker room The Buc offense rues its missed chances Maurice Stovall had a very busy day Game notes and anecdotes Scott Smith's official game report The gamebook and the play-by-play of the game
Losing this inter-state rivalry to the Jags dropped the Bucs to 4-4 on the season as turnovers and defensive miscues led to another loss. 'I thought we had 10-12 plays, big plays, big opportunities,' Jon Gruden said. 'But we didn't cash in on some of the opportunities that we normally do, and that's the difference”
