Nothing wrong with the alignment. Looks like JC gap blocked from the PST down and the 3tech got destroyed and the 9 tech didn't squeeze and ran up the field and got kicked out. 9 tech not squeezing and running up the field not only made him an easy kickout but it also allowed the te to pretty much pick off the PSLB on the snap. PSWing turned out the force and there's 6 yards about everytime. BSLB is trying to get there. Not sure who is blocking the BSLB but looks like he never had a chance either because he has a hat on him and he is still at 5yards. That means another DL didn't do their job and squeeze the escape of an OL on his backside scoop. Most likely the backside 3 technique didn't get hands on and keep the BSG from scooping up to the BSLB. You can see in the second picture that both ILBS are being blocked at 5yards which means the guys in front of them (defensive lineman) aren't playing with very good technique. Definitely not an alignment issue because there are 11 humans within six yards of the LOS. Alignment is solid and this is more about execution.

Corbin either had  water boy for a defensive coordinator or needed one. Why weren't the defensive linemen playing with better technique? lack of talent or what?

Well, JC is proficient at what they do is a much more likely explanation. IMO it isn't a lack of talent or coaching. Corbin just wasn't as good on this night. Thats about the best I can give you. JC forces you to play more run technique and if you are going to box the run your interior defensive lineman had better be really physical, play flat down the LOS,  and squeeze the life out of down blocks and backside scoop. Thats the only chance the ILB's have. That's alot to teach and learn in a week because JC isn't something you see week in and week out. It also helps that JC has a really nice D1 offensive lineman in the stable. Those aren't common either.

There's no question how good Johnson Central is. I know we always say take it one game at a time, but didn't the Corbin staff have a pretty good idea of the teams they'd face in the playoffs? Maybe they just didn't have time to look at game film on these teams until a week before they played? is the Johnson Central offense a lot different than it was last year?

The coaches, if that's what you call them, had all season to prepare for this game and this opponent. Everyone on this board knew at season's beginning that this game was coming. Two or three very good football minds on here knew what was coming last Friday. As loyal Redhound fans and supporters of these kids, they put as positive a pre-game spin on the matchup as possible, but they knew what the inevitable ugly outcome was going to be.

Barring a dozen turnovers by JC, Corbin had no shot coming into this one because of the lack of due diligence on the part of the coaches from day one of practice to implement and perfect a game plan that would give the Corbin kids the best chance of winning. Corbin had the athletes and the talent to win this matchup but they didn't have the leadership. The prep for 11/19 should have begun the first day of practice and it should have been free of coaching egos , personal agendas, and political bullshittery.  Sadly,   Corbin was doomed to have their season end this way from day ONE.

I agree and that’s a hard pill for anyone in Corbin to swallow. Corbin lost this one with arguably the most talented group assembled. I hate it for these Seniors.

There was a lot fo build up to this post season run for Corbin.  Listened to many former Redhounds, many that have seen the best of the best players, coaches and teams play at Corbin, say that this was the best team they have ever seen.  Loaded athletically and deep.  My question would be, if this was the team that could take Corbin to the finals and they had the Coach to do that, will Corbin Ever have a shot of getting there again?

As painful as it is for me to say, Corbin football died in 2018 against knox central at central.  Thats when the agenda began. Numbers have dropped by double digits since, next season Corbin will be lucky to dress 55, boosters are upset and the state of the program is not good.  Current staff will have to resign, super wont do anything and they know it.  JC was the easy way out, if we would have won and then franklin beat us there would have been members of the 7 person committee that would have released how they voted and super wouldn’t accept there decision.  If we would have made it to Lexington and Haddix would have beat us then the whole damn town would made there case.  JC was the easy way for the current staff to dodge the wave and absorb the ripple.

Finally..Wow, no truer words ever spoken on this site. But will it come to fruition?
