Rita played a solid 1st half with Underclassmen QB, WRs and RB. Score was 17 - 0 at halftime.

First two possessions of second half were three and outs. SL played the counter well in this half. Would've preferred the straight-up-the-gut runs.Their in the playoffs w/o several key players not playing tonight. I hate when they get a lead and stop doing the stuff that got them the lead. Not one vertical pass that I can remember the the second half. Hats off to the defense for the interceptions at key points in the game.
Saffold look heathy on the side line. If this was game nine and Rita was four and four I was told he could have played. It should be almost all hands on deck next week. 6-3 is a much better seed than 5-4.I also think DJ would've had a very good game tonight.
I do agree with 6-3. However, I've been analyzing the "Playoff Outlook," and Rita would be the highest 6-3 team which potentially could put them at either the #16 or #17th seed or in other words, a possible second round matchup with rival MC, assuming MC defeats LA.Saffold look heathy on the side line.

And with soph Justin Buckner also starting at LB it should be a lot of fun watching the defense next year. I'm starting to see Hopkin's influence on the defense and I like what I see. The defense was attacking at the end of the game.Just thought of this. When Soph LB Owen Lynch went in and played next to JR LB James Kingsbury, a much younger, fuller head of hair Rock watched their fathers Bill Lynch and Matt Kingsbury play LB extremely well for the 1989 Mustangs defense.
Thanks Rock for the recap. Love the fact at the end of the game the defense wasn’t playing prevent. And yes the OL was looking a little small last night. I was at the luncheon this week and knew about the OL but I’ll never give the other team a pre-game scouting report. If the game was not on YouTube I would have been there in person. I’m having angioplasty done and maybe a stent. But should make the 1st playoff game. But my season will be over when I have the value replacement. So there is good reason I sit next to Doc.Rocks Recap:
Proud of everyone involved. A lot of moving parts. Too long to list but they were without 2 starting offensive linemen added on to the ones many knew about.
Offense: Like Wit said, good mix of formations and plays. JR Herman ran well, Soph QB Armbruster, in his first varsity win threw a good ball, a nice 25 yard run when pass pro broke down. But there were too many drops. We can file it on weather and getting used to a new release but a handful of chain moving, keep the defense guessing passes were flat out dropped. Need those receptions as the schedule amps back up. Beautiful series of calls that led to a 50 yard post or vert TD reception by JR Gyimah. Walked the D right to where they wanted them and the players executed the series very well. TLone, your comment about our first couple series out of the half, yeah, it was like you were sitting next to me. Doc sends you his best.
Defense: I thought they played very well shorthanded that got more shorthanded into the game. And Soph LB Owen Lynch stepped up and played with speed and aggression and did his job well. DBs are progressing nicely in the deep shell which will allow them, and the D as a whole, to dial up some different pressures. Front 4 I thought played better vs Loyola but they toughed it out with another area of the team that hasn’t been 100% for awhile.
Special Teams: Seemed a lot tighter and cleaner than the earlier part of the season so that’s very positive. Snaps good, holds good, kicks and punts strong.
I don’t know who’s coming back next week or the playoffs. There didn’t seem to be anyone out for the season from any of the conversations I had. Other then tough Sr WR Colin Lynch that was injured in the JCA game.
Good Night moon, Good morning playoffs
As I was watching, I noticed new numbers on that field. I counted 16 UCmen either starting or playing a lot on that field. Granted, some of those UCmen are already starters, but there were 7 sophomores and 9 juniors. This bodes well for next year for sure, if life doesn't throw curveballs out there.Rocks Recap:
