PCC QB was a player. He exposed what I think is something the Blackcats need to continue to work on and that is pass coverage. Blackcats defended the long throw but gave the underneath route. Still PCC QB made some pinpoint throws that many qb's could not make. Better coverage than Pikeville game. May have been the plan not to get beat long and give the underneath . Did better on run but still need to contain QB on the edge. Defense still solid and improving. Still need to use all of our weapons on offense. Keep it up Blackcats the hardworki is paying off. Beat Bobcats!!!

Who can blame Coach D. for giving the short routes ? A team with an offense that can consistently move down the field with the pass 5-10yds at a time is rarely seen at this level of football. Most of the time teams only pass short to set up the long pass.

Justice was very accurate, he releases quickly, and has no problem with arm strength. If his receivers run good routes and catch the ball, they only need 1/2 step on the defender as the ball is zipped in not giving the DB time to react. PCC got into trouble when it tried to run (work needed here), got too greedy on long pass attempts, and got too close to the goal line (P-burg coverage could come up with no deep ball to defend - PCC MUST find some kind of power running game).

PCC actually has a pretty good defensive secondary. It will help them in district play against Lawrence Co. (who are passing more this year), but does them little good when they play Belfry. The Pirate's offensive strength will be matched against PCC's defensive weakness. Belfry could run wild.

PCC -will- move the ball effectively against both Lawrence Co.'s and Belfry's defense with a controlled passing game. The Bulldog's and Pirate's pass defense (coverage and pressuring the QB) rarely approaches its ability to defend the run. The Hawks could have problems in the red zone, however, like it did against P-burg.
