[PaytoPlay]

I loved the feel of the stadium! But a couple of negatives stood out. First, the super short goalposts feel very elementary. Second, concession stands were not sufficient.

What a nice crowd!

As for the game, as a Belfry fan I left rather optimistic. I thought the Pirates played very hard throughout the game. Williams really elevated his play and looked like a guy who could lead the team moving forward. I did think it was a bit odd to insert the frosh QB in the game for the second series but I understand the move. He kid is talented and getting him a series here and there in big games will be invaluable.

The offensive play calling was very good. I was pleasantly surprised with the execution in the passing game especially. The fullback give continues to be Belfry's best play but Pruitt had daylight a couple times on that counter play they are now running. The option and quick pitch were generally not effective Friday, but are plays that Belfry needs to continue to work at. The QB belly play has netted TD's this season.

When will Carroll return? I was and continue to be hopeful that he can provide Belfry some steady and tuff inside running this season from the RB spot.
