Clinton 34, Newberry 20

[bigdog2003]

Bulldogs played hard, but couldn't overcome a kick return td and 2 Red Devil td's set up off of turnovers deep in our own zone. The amount of progress made since the Union game is amazing. Defense wrapped a lot better, didn't over pursue as bad.

Now on to Chapin. Never easy playing a 5A school, and Chapin usually has size and athletes. I'll be glad when we get to play schools our size in a few weeks and can see what we do.

I'll be honest, I really don't see them as a force in the upper state unless they find a passing game. Now they have some players, their rbs run the ball hard, but they aren't unbeatable. A lot of motion, a lot of counters, pullers all over the place. A defense that plays fundamentally sound will shut them down.

We gave them the ball inside the 5 and inside the 35 on turnovers. Add in the kick return after we had driven for a score and you can't overcome that against anybody. I didnt hang around to hear the final stats, but I know near the end of the game we were up in time of possession. Turnovers killed is. We given up 28 points off turnovers in 2 games and lost twice by about that margin.

Not as big up front as last year from what I saw. Clinton had some maulers last year. They also are sneaky with motion. Their were a bunch of times 1 wing would go in jet or orbit motion and the other wing would start moving before the snap. Once our coaches alerted the linesman, they started getting flagged for it.

Oh no, I dont bs people or sugar coat stuff. Some people don't like hearing my opinion because I'm gonna tell it like it is regardless.
