Seeing an out-of-shape Blackcat team is a brand new experience for this fan. Players who weren't cramping in the second half -I hope- were simply dogging it or being lazy, because if they were hitting a physical wall, it'll be 4-5 games in before they get into game shape !!

If Coach D. is going to keep the same offense that the Cats have played over the past few years, someone other than Frasure will need to learn how to run pass patterns and, more importantly, when and what to do when the QB is run out of the pocket. There's more to it than jogging toward the QB while waving your arms !

Someone mentioned the "illegal man down field" in the first half shouldn't have been called. Actually it wasn't even a difficult call to make. The screen pass was actually completed 2 yds past the LOS. He had 2 blockers 4-5 yds ahead of him when he caught it. It was a penalty as soon as the ball was thrown past the LOS by RULE. This is why screens must be completed short of the line.

Pikeville played very consistently all night and never got down over the turnovers in the first half, nor the last second 1st half P-burg score. Hall is a very good RB. The Panthers have it going on this year !!
