It all came down to these things last night:

1) Big Plays- I said it over and over again that in order to beat Belfry you have to cut out the big plays...and in order fro SC to do this they had to play flawless assignment football. Belfry thrived off the big play and Haywood coached a mesterful offensive game last night..he rode the fullback to set up the outside..he used the outside to set up the interior running with Chapman...and by the second half the Cards were just gassed.

2) Matt Freakin Maynard!- The kid broke the Cards back...plain and simple. The fear of his return game cost the Cards a good 50 yards in field position tonight on punts and kickoffs,,,, and he just ripped them apart with his team speed. The kid had 1 carry the secnd half and it was a TD... think about it... nearly half his carries were TD's!

3) Trenches- Belfry's oline DOMINATED the Cards on every posession except one... defensively the Cards were using their wedge well early... but as the ame wore on Belfry got more and more pentration and when the cards had to and when the Cards spread the field then it was curtains.

4) Composure- You could tell these Belfry boys were used to being here...they were as cool as a cucumber all night in every aspect possible. First posession with all that emotion they force a 3 and out. First offensive posession= TD. SC marches it back and answers, Belfry stays calm and drives it down their throat. Then as extracurricular activity ensued as the game went on the Pirates did a good job of keeping cooler heads and not jeopardizing a suspension for next week.
