This game was closer than the score.

Id have to disagree with saying it could have been worse. From what i seen Britt played almost the whole game. It was a 2TD ball game midway through the 3rd with Whitley driving before turning it over.

It seemed like Deja Vu from last year after the first quarter, but we seemed to regain compsure and started to come back, but stupid play calling got the best of us. Down 28-14 midway threw the 3rd we go for an onside kick instead of trying to pin Russell deep.

After watching tonights game, i must say i was wrong about Britt being the best player on the field and most valuable weapon for Russell County. Truth be told, Russell Countys kicker is there best weapon. Whitley had to start on there own 20 all night because the kid was kicking the ball off for touchbacks every time, and before halftime even tried like a 56 yarder, which was only 5 or 6 yards short.

Russell County is very good and i didnt expect to win this game, but i did expect our defense to play much better than they did.
Mills is going to have a great career. He's just a frosh and made huge plays all night.
I would assume both teams had massive yardage as Russell County made big plays, which i said in the prediction thread we had to stop or we would lose, and we started at our twenty all night and drove it all the was down to the redzone atleast 7 or 8 times.

Mann looked very polished at QB for Russell. Made smart choices all night and didnt turn the ball over. Ysidro for Whitley is still growing into his own. He's still got a lot of learning to do when it comes to the passing game and still needs to read the defense better.

All in all, im not to dissapointed in our performance. I think other than Bell and Boyle, Russell county is the best team we will play all year. Great learning experience for us, and now that the first game jitters are out of the way we can move forward.
