Reading some of these comments has made me scratch my head.

1. Belfry fumbled. However, it wasn't as if Belfry was just strolling down the field and suddenly dropped the ball. Several fumbles were by the QB because the LC defense NAILED him with a hit forcing a bad pitch. The other fumbles were ALSO BECAUSE OF HITS by the LC defense. So, why are these fumbles being excused as if LC didn't have anything to do with them? Fumbles and turnovers are part of the game, and usually because the defense did its job. Give credit where credit is due. Belfry got hit in the mouth several times and coughed it up.

2. Another excuse flying around is "well LC didn't move the ball except for two deep balls". Umm, what's your point? Should we just not throw the ball deep now? I read somewhere in this thread a Belfry poster saying "LC only had 280 yards of offense, but 150 went on 2 plays". What's your point? Robert Dalton flew past your defense and scored on two 70+ plays. That's PROPER EXECUTION and skill.

3. Now on to the LC posters. Play calling had nothing to do with lack of offense last night. Belfry's front 6-7 are strong and athletic. I felt we ran it enough to keep them honest. I do, however, agree with a couple on here who would have liked to see more underneath routes being ran. I didn't like some of the rollouts, especially at the end on 4th down. But these are high school players and we don't know what play was called. It may not have been what the players did or reacted to on offense.

I guess my point is that we played well. We forced turnovers. I felt LC was the more aggressive and physical team last night. Regardless of the excuses being spewed late last night and this morning, attempting to downplay the way LC played with the "well Belfry is down" and "well we fumbled 7 times" or "if we didn't fumble it would have been a 3-4 TD difference". Guess what? You did fumble. LC wasn't able to take advantage of most of them. And to throw it right back in your faces, if LC would have taken advantage, then LC would have won by 3-4 TD's. Right?
