[Old School Hound]

Lord quit talking about Boyle. We all know that one single individual that was wearing white and black stripes that night made a split second decision or we aren’t talking about this right now. We are all saying, well there’s no chance “fill in the name” beats boyle. One single person signaled touchback instead of being down or touchdown. If he chose 2/3 options, this isn’t even a thread. this is not a conversation about who could or could not beat boyle, cause they got beat for their first time in 4 years.

The conversation is PT butchered that Corbin Oline due to scheme. Send 7 guys, only 5 to block. Math is math people. Corbin could’ve thrown it across the middle 1 time in the fourth quarter and moved the ball but chose to throw down the sideline 50 yards every time. They hit cima one time over the middle for 15 yards, never again. When both linebackers and an end blitz, the middle of the field on short passes are open. They did it on 3 straight fourth quarter drives, never crossed the PT 40. That’s why the lead went from 3, to 10, to 17. They were outschemed in the second half never made one adjustment period. Did the speed in the back end help for PT, Yes, but Corbin proved they could still be productive moving the ball. But like i said, MATH IS MATH. 7 is greater than 5.

I agree that Corbin got out schemed and outcoached. This as a winnable game before it turned into flag football. Completely swung the momentum to the home team.

Best thing teams like Corbin can do is learn how to game the rpi like PT and Franklin have figured out

That's absolutely the truth. Not playing the rpi game correctly has cost the Hounds two years in a row. A win over a North Laurel instead of a loss to Fred Douglass would have meant last night's game would have been played just outside Old School's backyard, instead of five hours away. I hope that, unlike the evil Tommy Greer, coach Salmons will give considerable attention to the RPI when scheduling. It often is the difference between a third or fourth round game being at Campbell Field or on the road. Schedule some good 4, 5, and 6A teams that will win a lot of games but teams that you know with 95-99% confidence you will beat.  No more Hazards or Freddie D's. That's a recipe for ending your season in Danville or Paducah.
