came challenged coming few games half kids suck tough
We just came out a little flat. We've done that a few times this year. We can't do it anymore. We have some really tough games coming up and we just have to go out and get it done. We challenged the kids at the half to suck it up and go and they responded.
advantage aggressive blitz control drive gambling good last offense pay penalties people year
We had a lot of opportunities last year on offense that we didn't take advantage of. We had a fumble or two, one that I know of on a pretty good drive and a lot of penalties. We have to keep our penalties at a minimum, they're a very aggressive defense. They're going to blitz some people and come at you. We have to control that and make them pay when they're gambling on the edges.
al confidence control good line run stop ton
We have to stop the run and control the line of scrimmage. They (Harrisburg) are a very good team. They have a ton of confidence with (coach) Al Way back.
bunch darn fell good job minute nut offense practice shots sophomore throwing together took tough
That was huge. We practice our two minute offense a bunch being a throwing team. We executed really well. It fell together pretty good. What can you say about that sophomore quarterback (Matt Brown). He did a darn good job and he took some shots tonight. He's a tough nut and he's a good kid. He's getting to be a pretty good quarterback. He's really come a long way.
ball bit brown decent gives matt option prepare punch ran run score takes teams throws tough weeks
Matt (Weeks) can run. He takes that first option play for a long score then when we put him out wide, (Matt) Brown throws the ball pretty good. Brown ran the ball pretty decent tonight. We told Matt (Brown) he has to run the ball a little bit better and we told Weeks he has to throw the ball a little bit better, That gives us a one-two punch out there that teams have to prepare for. I think that's tough to stop.
bad cut last mental penalties six snaps though tonight
We wanted to cut down on our mental mistakes, Physically, we're pretty athletic. We had 12 penalties (last week) and six bad snaps last week. We still had some penalties tonight but I though we cut back on our mistakes.
ball drew hit instead jimmy lull mature ready recognize sleep throw
Now, with Jimmy Drew being a little more experienced, they should be able to throw the ball a little bit. Instead of run, run, run, what they'll do is try and lull you to sleep and bang, hit you with play action. We just have to be ready for that and mature enough to recognize it when it comes.
adversity beat came fallen game huge kids maybe miss practice preaching remember senior seniors stood team teammate together ton week
It's a huge game to beat Benton. It's a big rivalry. I get up for the Benton week. I think our kids do, maybe we do even more than the kids because we remember how it was years ago. I think it's still a big rivalry. We had a ton of adversity this week and our seniors really came together. We had a teammate (FCHS senior Wes Miller) who was in a coma in St. Louis. I had no idea how we were going to show up. We had some kids miss practice to go up there, and that's fantastic. They really stood by their fallen teammate. We've been preaching all week to come together as a team and I think we did tonight.
definitely game running throw
We're going to throw the ball, but we definitely want to get the running game back up.
bad job penalties six
We had 12 penalties and six bad snaps. Mentally, we have to do a better job of executing.
ball mix run
We want to run the ball but we want to mix it with the pass.
allowed bit couple effort fall few guys late lined maybe played plays work wrong
We shouldn't fall off like that and we did a little bit. Maybe we weren't prepared. We have to work with those guys a little bit more on our part. The effort was there, they played hard, we just lined up wrong a couple of times and allowed them to have a few big plays late in the game.
key pass
I thought we had it after that score. But we made key mistakes, particularly on pass plays.
battle beat freshman front game good guys heck job keys played playing talked win
I thought we played a heck of a game up front and we talked about that. Some of these guys went to the freshman game. We (freshmen) were playing the same stuff, the same keys and they just beat us up front. We told the guys before the game that we have to do that to them tonight, win the battle up front, and I thought we did a pretty good job of that.
