[Old School]

To avoid making the final score more lopsided than it was? We know it's over when it's 42-14. Coming out and throwing interceptions and stopping the clock when our defense is already beyond exhausted doesn't help us at all. There's no reason to let HHS make it 70-14 with a running clock. Our kids don't deserve to be embarrassed just because they run out of gas after three quarters against a national top ten team, and this is Coach's way of keeping it respectable. There's your answer.

There have been many on here, who say JC has to develop a passing game to ever have a shot at a state title. However I disagree with that theory, sure 5 or 6 passes a game would be ok, but if you look back to the 2006 game with CC, and the 2008 and 2009 games against Highlands, JC was able to move the ball on the ground without much trouble. They were in all three of those games at the half, it appears that JC's problem has been running out of gas in the 2nd half, because so many of the kids play both ways. In each of those three games the opponent for the most part ran seperate offensive and defensive units, which is a luxury JC and most Mountain schools do not have. I'm confident with JC's ability to run the ball in these games, that if they were able to have seperate offensive and defensive units they could have won these games.

Just my three cents worth.
