Pikeville hung in pretty well, even though they made numerous mistakes. The center snaps were a huge problem. Their passing game was pretty fair.

Sheldon Clark seemed a little lethargic in spots; this must be eliminated if they are to go deep in the playoffs. The pass defense was poor, to say the least.

Some good things I saw for Sheldon Clark were, what many of us do not watch, the blocking by Taylor Chapman and KP Skyles. In addition, BJ Jarrell and Skyles ran hard. I think Skyles gained 155 yards for the game.

Bottom line: Sheldon Clark needs consistency, play the whole game with intensity, improve blocking in the line, utilize the strong running attack, dramatically improve the pass defense, and eliminate mistakes.

Good luck nest week, Cards!

I heard that KP gained 195 yards Friday night, not 155. The difference, I think, is in regard to the screen pass that he ran for about 35 or 40 yards.
I am not sure whether that would be counted as a rush. I watched the video of the game and he was behind the LOS 2 yards when he caught the screen. So does that count as a rush. The LOS was the 47; he caught the ball on the 44.5. Anyway, I believe that's the discrepancy.

Obviously I'm a little biased for I am a Card fan, but I believe that KP is probably the most underrated running back in Eastern Kentucky. Not only does he have speed, but he is a power back, also.
