Very proud of our boys!

Overall I was pretty pleased. We started out on FIRE!!!!! If we maintain that type of intensity and play calling, we will be a force no matter who is in front of us. Its hard for even a solid defense to stop 6 different weapons on the field. But there for a minute I thought they might have took my pregame advice and threw the ole ball around the yard!!

But after we got up by a couple, I don't know what happened??? Did we take our foot off the gas? Players weren't giving 100%? Play calling got conservative? Lincoln put their foot on the gas? I honestly don't know, I think it was all of them combined! But we almost let them back into the ball game doing that SH!T.

Offensively, like I said, we started out burning it up!!!!! I was still very very pleased with how we played on O for the most part. I think everyone in the stands kind of scratched their head on one red zone trip, but other than that pretty solid. Combs looked great with his throws and decisions. The one INT he had was just one of those plays, almost like the ball they caught for a TD. Wells was a constant deep threat. I don't know what else to say about him, hes a beast and I would put him against any DB in the state with his speed and hands. Mills was dancing out there, in a good way, making the D look like fools on a lot of plays. Longmire had a pretty good game with some big runs at key times. Patterson kept the chains moving on some screens and short passes and was a load to bring down. Our other running back and full back, Peyton and Powers, had a solid game. The Oline was pushing their way around up there giving combs time to throw and holes for the run. Very good game by them.

 Defense, our bread and butter, who has showed up every game, had a good game. I'm gonna be a little hard on them though because I know how they can play and tonight we had some slip ups. They still played good! Our Dline was dominate most of the game, and our Backers brought it! Our secondary is were I was a little let down. I know we keyed on the run, that's Lincoln's go to. But we still have to play honest on the WR's, especially for a potential upcoming opponent! we have to tighten that up. Several balls should have been picked. And we left a lot of space between us and their Wr's. I don't know if that was the coverage, game plan, or what? But it kept them in the game longer than it should. But they did seem hungry and laid some huge hits on LC. I hope the player who went out is OK. But when I got home I watched the replay and that was a clean hit?!! No helmet to helmet. It cant be targeting, it was just a hard hit. I think the ref's knew that, that's why they dropped the flag 10 minutes after the fact. 

Special teams, Baker, had another FG. He's becoming automatic back there. I don't know what our game plan was on K.O. but it puzzled me a little.

We about screwed the pooch towards the end. I don't care what happens in a football game, you cant fight when you have to play the next week. If we would have had players ejected that could have really really hurt us! we got to be better than that and let it out between the whistles.

Props to LC. They came in and we knew what they were gonna do, they knew, and they ran it that way. The are a very decent football team. I don't see many other 4th place or heck even some 2nd and 3rd place district teams beating them. Their run game is solid. The bad part is, that's about all they have, so its easy to key on.

But overall I was pretty pleased. Lets get ready for KC next week!
