[Cats2010]

By the score you might think this was an exciting ballgame, in reality it was relatively boring and poorly played on both sides. Pike got smart in the 2nd half and simplified their offense. P-burg's weakness, tackling, showed itself again. That was the difference in the game because the dropped passes and fumbles by both sides were about equal.

I did not recognize the Prestonsburg team that showed up tonight. They looked bewildered, if not asleep, most of the game. Very discouraging, but hopefully this was just a bad night and not a sign of things to come.

The offensive play calling was odd. We had open screens and short slants all night long, but kept trying to run up the middle (which hasn't worked all year) or throw long. It was obvious Pike wanted to stop Jamerson and Bryson from going long, which they did, but the short stuff was there for the taking. We also need to expand our playbook, we are getting a little predictable.

Alex Griffith and Anderson need to be used more. Anderson is our best runner with the ball....hands down. Griffith should be lined up at halfback - there he can still pass block, take a handoff or pitch on occasion, and still slip out for screens and shovel passes when Jamerson and Bryson are covered. He is a wasted asset in my opinion.

The talent is there. Hopefully this was just a bump in the road and we'll come roaring back.
