[Bull got out!]

Im going to chime in on this game. After getting my emotions out of it and pulling for the Redhounds, giving it a few days and looking at it from a neutral view. So I for one was wrong, in the game threads I was aggravated over the flags think it was all at Corbin. Honestly, after watching the film and slowing down YouTube and you can see that every call other than 2 pass interference calls were there spot on. Now, you have to rewind a bunch and keep your eyes on different players but they are there. The reason I also pointed out 2 PI calls was they are at the interpretation of that ref who made the call.  I get it, live he may have intrepreted it different, I had replay, he didn't so I thought a few wasn't PIs but also if there was a PI it was on Corbin at the :11 second mark before the missed field goad just before Halftime. So to make it clear, no PI call hurt Corbin. The no PI call in the endzone did hurt PT. But it was an interpretation of that ref and he didnt have replay. I did. Now, for me I apologize Mr. Refs. They actually called a great game for the tension between two top teams on that field. Moving on.....I have to say this game was more of a defensive battle for both teams. Corbin honestly played lights out on Defense. Cant say anything any different. I can watch film with any of you and point stuff out but Corbin was in this one till the big play of #4 with 30 seconds to go in the 3rd quarter having a 14-10 lead until a screen pass that got behind the linebackers and he just put his speed to the endzone. No ones fault, it was just a athletic play. To me, this was the big difference in the game, because PT just couldn't break the Corbin defense until this play. Now without breaking down everything in the 4th, PT brought the pressure in the 4th once they had the lead. When you go back to the early 2cd quarter when PT defense settled in on Corbins offense, only big plays were QB runs or a handoff. That seemed to be the story to sum it up. A big defensive battle comes down to who can get a playmaker open and PT won that battle. So it was a nice game to watch when I looked at it again. Hard fought game, no weakness on either team, PT offense was able to make a few big plays that went for scores and Corbin didn't. All you can say.

I do want to clarify what I meant by PT couldn't break the Corbin defense until this play, meaning that in the 3rd quarter of a back and forth defensive game. Not the first half, there was some nice plays by both teams in the first half. That big play put the momentum swing at the perfect time for Paducah Tilghman and it being the start of the 4th quarter. Thats huge in a game like this. PT hadn't been down hardly at all this year. So for Corbin to hold that lead for a quarter give or take between the interception in the 2cd quarter to the :30 second mark of the 3rd quarter was a big defensive battle for both teams. So to add a little to this, in the 1st half, Paducah Tilghman's big gains came when Corbin went into a 3 man front. Corbin stayed in this 4 man other than 1 play till the end of the 3rd quarter. PT also did the same thing, when you look at Corbins big gains, they as well went into a 3 man or 4 man that didn't have a blitzer and Corbin was able to get big plays. But in the entire first half or 3rd quarter when both teams were in their defenses, it was hard for either offense to do very much till they ran into a self destructing penalty or nice defensive stand.
