In all honesty could have been worse.

Pikeville had three big turnovers in the 1st Half and had a couple deep drives that came up empty. Also had a boneheaded decision backfire when an onside kick failed with 30 seconds to go in the Half that Pburg converted into a TD as the Half expired.

Frasure and Jarrell did everything they could for Pburg.. but once Pikeville abandoned the pass and got back to their bread and butter it was a different game.

Now, that friendly clock helped that drive right before the half as well. Got the ball with 33.9 seconds left, ran one play for sure, maybe 2, and I looked at the clock again and it was at 29 seconds. :-)

But Pburg is a good young team and will get better as the season goes on. I agree their conditioning didn't look the best. Much credit to Pikeville's D, they played like men in the 2nd half and the O finally started really gelling. Loved the power in the running game, Hall and company ran with authority. Looking forward to this season! Hail Pikeville!
