Huntsville with the win over LC
30 to 24
Went to the game. LC self destructed in the first half many interceptions, lost ball on onside kickoffs, no running game. Game was 23-7 at half time. Junior #2 LC QB not a runner at all and Huntsville secondary coverage confused him. #2 QB looked frail for supposedly passing for 1600 yards. Finally after another first half interception LC put in Junior #5 QB a stocky RPO QB. Lead LC down the field late in the second Q both running and passing for a TD.
Take Aways:
1. LC has a creditable defense but was handed terrible field positions to defend in the first half at noon in 99F heat with no rest.
2. On Huntsville first play after the start of the game after KO. LC stripped the ball. LC got down to the five yard line and went for it on fourth down and failed to Score. Next Huntsville play after turnover on downs the #1 QB took it all the way for a TD.
3. No team this season appears to have a punter? LC punter Shanks and a blocked punt in their red Zone.
4. Huntsville Defense is physical as usual.
5. Returning Huntsville RPO #1QB is up and down like last year. He escapes the pocket and creates big running plays from busted pass plays. PNG needs a spy on him on 3rd and long pass plays.
6. Huntsville has a small jitter bug quick #4 RB. Not as powerful as last year’s College D1 RB that graduated.
7. LC scored 17 points in the third quarter while holding Huntsville to 7 points in the third quarter. No points scored in the 4th Q by either team.
8. LC found them a new RPO QB.
9. Huntsville going with more on side KOs versus short and high pooch kicks landing little further down the field.
Montgomery vs Huntsville game will ride on Montgomery defense ability to control Huntsville QB Adolphe running on busted pass plays. Similar to last year’s PNG come back victory last year.
