A little different game this week- good challenge for the kids. We won the first 2 games 44-6 and 49-14- we needed a challenge.
Won 28-0 in a game we really had to fight for everything we got against a program that I did a clinic for- they have been practicing since April. We scored the first 2 times we had the ball on long drives of 12 and 10 plays respectively. The other team had twin towers, kids 9"-12" taller than almost all my kids- and fast- their best athletes. Worried an errant throw on a 20mph wind day would go the distance the other way. We only threw 3 times- a season low.
Another problem new to me- my rookie 3 back went the wrong way on at least 3 plays he was kicking out- resulting in loss of yards every down. We got stopped on a 4th and 3 AND we ran out of time at the 1 yard line right before the half. We also punted 1 time- the very first time this season weve had to.
Defense played real well- gave up just 3 first downs against a pretty tough team- very good fundamentally- that came to play. We defended their option and power game very well. We sacked them on every single pass attempt they made.
Also a first- had DE take out the legs of my 3 back in the 4th quarter- didnt notice it until last 2 plays- they cant do that. Their big stud against my big 3 back kid. Talked to the refs after the game, they agreed they missed it- MY fault- I needed to remind them- wont happen again.
Kind of embarrassed we only scored 4 TDs- but No one has scored against our first team defense so far this season and this was the first time we played near our potential on defense.
