Thank you for validating my comment. The bad snap (in the fourth) was partially the result of a starting center who was exhausted from playing both ways and wrestling a 300lb NG. He was so exhausted that he was sidelined, and his backup botched the snap. The cause and effect are the same. That's exactly what I was "talking about." No shame in being exhausted in a game like that. It was brutal for all involved. The kids are all to be commended for their extraordinary efforts.

You are somewhat right but Paintsville was exhausted as well and didn't turn the ball over. And Pikeville wasn't exhausted when they had a bad snap on the Paintsville 10 early in the game. Bottom line, one UK commit doesn't equate to getting 3 fumbles and not turning the ball over yourself. Paintsville can't count on that next time if there is a next time and in fact most likely won't get it...and turnovers were the difference in Pikeville winning going away.irateSho
