Well it seems we cant ever have a discussion n here without everything headed off the rails, but I will add my assessment-

First congrats to Corbin for a great season, they are a big, strong, hard-nosed bunch with surprising team speed. Kade Elam is as advertised and I see great things in his future.

On to the game- the script basically flipped at halftime. At first Corbin was blitzing and PT was not picking it up nor adjusting for it resulting in James either scrambling with no time to throw or getting sacked. I am 100% sure he was rushed more last night than the total times he was pressured all year. This pressure had him off his game and it seemed he didn't quite find his "touch" until late in the half.
In the second half PT made the adjustments and used Corbins bull rush against them by hitting screens and quick hitters. Whenever they backed off that it gave James time to hit more deep routes. Defensively in the second half PT felt comfortable enough to have single coverage over the top and send everyone else. PT"s constant speed and pressure had Elam scrambling the whole second half and had a hard time throwing anything other than a sideline pass. Everyone has heard all year about our offense, now they know what our defense is made of speed, grit, strength and determination.

As far as the officiating went- were they flag happy? possibly but they sure didn't mind throwing them both ways. It was a VERY high-strung emotional game and several players were really feeling it. Those constant offsetting calls on the WR/DB were annoying, both players were going at it hard and the ref should have just told them both to cut it out. It was pointless to just keep stopping the game for no reasonable outcome. A majority of Corbins holding calls came in the second half when PT was sending 7 and being blocked by 5. If the coach doesn't adjust for that-its bound to happen. PT was getting plenty of PI calls when  the WR and DB were hand fighting the whole game.Towards the end and those Personal fouls, I get it, its an emotional thing when you see your season coming to an end, no coach supports that but sometimes it happens.  There was plenty of chirping happening and both teams had a chip on their shoulder to prove what they were about.

I was pleased to see our guys come out and fight for the win, we have heard all year how we were not good enough, we played a soft schedule, we would get ran off the field, we wouldn't fare well once we got hit in the mouth. Well our guys did. They proved they can take a punch and deliver a blow back.
PT continues to prove what they can do on the field.

Congrats to Corbin for a great season.
