Final

Really don't know what to make of this game. I knew it was going to be very evenly matched and a back and forth scoring game, but had no idea it was going to be what it turned out to be. At this point I don't know what this post season will bring for the Juggs or what Juggs show up to the post season.

Xavier Abernathy going out of this game in the 3rd Q for sure killed holy cross momentum for the rest of the game and is a big reason why they lost this game.

Congratulations to the Juggs; it will be interesting to see the last team standing between these two and Newport Catholic over the next few weeks.

That maybe true but I felt #21 was killin us. He was a bigger play maker IMO, 1 man highlight reel.

Give me the Charles Gaines update? Did they get him the ball?

Yes a few times through the air and several handoffs. Theme of tonights game was ground and pound. Rex Ryan would be proud of both teams. Both sides kept feed their main RB and let them go to work.

Box Score

 

Play by Play

^ Gaines is missing atleast 1 catch I know for a fact was the 2 pt conversion. But I counted 3 for him. Either way these stats are just off the chart I'm blown away but then again discouraged.

You are correct. Gaines caught 3 passes. However, 2 of those passes were 2 point conversions which count in the box score, but not in the yardage stats. He had one game catch for 46 yards (which was a TD) at 1:06 left in the 3rd quarter.

NkyPete you have just made my argument for me with Charles. This kid is a thoroughbred and only catches 3 balls? The results are a Td and 2 point conversions. He needs to touch it 12-15 times a game.

 

I'm a big Eric Turner fan and grateful that he is there. A Charles Gaines build only comes around once a decade if your lucky.

He had 49 yards through then and I believe HC trailed. Gave them the opp to give the ball to Barnes which they should be doing anyhow. He is a playmaker with game changing speed.

Lloyd did get him the ball via the running game in the second half. He had 3 runs for 27 yards and a TD. I need to correct myself on my previous post. Gaines only had two catches (one official one for a 46 yard TD) and one 2 point conversion. He had two more 2 point conversions that were runs. Total were three 2 point conversions. He was targeted for another 2 point conversion pass, but it was broken up by HC.

Tark, I agree with you that Gaines is a playmaker and thoroughbred who needs to get the ball more but there is no rhythm to the passing game. A lot of the routes that are ran are timing routes and the others are deep routes. These guys can never get in sync with the rotating QBs and the deep balls are either over or under thrown. That is because there is no consistency in the play calls. There hasn't been any progression in this facet of the Juggs game. They did make the necessary adjustment to get a kicker so let's see what steps are taken this week to improve.

What's up with the rotating QBs? I was concerned half the time that I was going to give credit for a pass to the wrong player. I know teams do it. I was just curious.
