Oh, so you want to deduct the fumbles and not count the penalties huh?:biggrin:

Exactly how many times did Highlands score in the second half when they didn't gain possession from JC (for various reasons) inside the JC 26 yard line? That was zero, wasn't it? That's the whole entire 2nd half now. Isn't that right? And they far from "played bend but dont break" in the first half. That just did not happen at all. Name one time when JC was moving the ball, that they held them scoreless. That just didn't happen. I would say that there were more than a few stunned birds going into the locker room at the half. Say whatever you want, but I'm 100% right on that. I will more tend to agree with you concerning the 2nd half however. But you cant make any of those claims regarding the 1st half. Bad as that may hurt some of ya'lls egos.

And yeah, I would think that moving at will in the first half is a pretty good assessment. Moving at will does not necessarily mean you have to throw the ball for 30 yards a clip, does it? Or breaking one for 60, as Collinsworth did? Yes, I would consider that as all moving at will, but I would also say that 5-10yards a clip on the ground qualifies as being that just as well.

How many times did JC punt the ball in the first half and how many times did they turn it over on downs? Right off, I cant remember but maybe one punt and I dont think they had an 4 down turnovers. Correct me in need be. Heck, I dont know, maybe they didn't even have to punt either. I cant remember.

I will totally agree with you that it is extremely hard to overcome being in a deep hole with our offense. Even Matney acknowledges that.

Did you even watch the game? This post is filled with so many inaccurate statements. And stunned at half time?, I dought it. The vast majority expected a close first half with HHS taking over in the second half. HHS also realized that without the pass interference that JC only scores 7 in the first half. And when deep in JC's territory on (I Think 2nd or 3rd Possesion) if they do not have a dumb pentalty the score at least 3 pts. I know penalties are part of the game, but at half they knew if they came out without the mistakes, that they could take over the game; not stunned though.
