Corbin was much better than I was expecting. On film they didn’t show much of having Elam, Wells and Combs all back there together and that combination was deadly. Stretch out of that 2 back set with either Wells leading and Combs with the ball or vice versa absolutely gashed the Panther D.
At the end of the day, even with the loss, that was a great contest for both teams. I’d rather play those type games all year than play teams that you just destroy and gain an over inflated self confidence.
Corbin was a little better and deeper than Pikeville, they have a solid team.
As for Pikeville and all the questions concerning the 2 QB’s, I think both did some good things. My opinion is Boykins def needs to be on the field, he’s just too electric. But I’m not sold that it has to only be at QB. But I’m confident that the Panther staff will figure that all out. I was proud the way the kids kept competing even when they were gassed. They could’ve thrown in the towel and it could’ve really gotten out of hand but in the end Pikeville still had a shot to win.
Anyway I reiterate, that was a great first game and I love our schedule, if we can escape without any major injuries then we should be ready by Nov.
Time to get focused on another huge test this weekend!

Kid probably has small hands for a high-school football. He can run like the wind, but his throws were wobblers with no velocity. Looks like he'd be a dynamic receiver but occasional direct snaps and designed runs he's hard to stop, especially when they play lesser teams than Corbin (which is a LOT of teams). The starting QB threw every bit as good a ball as the 2 Corbin QB's, or very close. Corbin has a "problem", as well as Pikeville, that 95% of teams in Kentucky would pay to have.
