What about that Tydlacka? Three kickoffs that averaged about 9 yards deep in the end zone and were high. They did not seem to be wind-aided.

 

Nice 10 minutes for T. T is physically tougher than they have been. Vic gets peppered pretty good when these teams play.

 

Can't draw a lot of conclusions from this "game" but I would say that T is at least competitive with X from a personnel standpoint.

Tydlacka is awesome!

 

I paid special attention to his size after reading some other threads about him...He is big boy!

Didn't prove anything? C'mon, Delta, you're usually one of the most reasonable people on this board. Trinity came out and took control from the first time they had the ball. Plus they had all the momentum in the world when they intercepted the ball and were getting ready to go on offense again when the game was called.

 

It reminded a lot of Louisville-Miami last weekend.

 

Except that Miami actually showed some sign of offensive production early and fumbled heading into UofL's endzone.

And he is even a better punter, although I don't think he as punted a ball in a game in a few weeks.

He will get plenty of punting duties if he takes UK's offer....I was very impressed with him...and like I've said before his back-up Petrovic(sp?) isn't too shabby either...

The only game in Ky. called in the 1st. quarter???????

The Miami game started very similiar for UL and you see what happened....

This comparison isn't valid. Trinity had two offensive drives (out of 2) last might that put points on the board and they had three (out of 3) defensive stops (two coming off of turnovers). These happened even after they gave X a 1st down on a stupid roughing the kicker penalty. Miami had 1 good offensive and defensive series. Unlike X they were able to put points on the board after Louisville gave them a 1st down.

refer to Post #44.

Real statement game for Trinity. Good job..

Well it was a real "statement" quarter.:lol:

Your narrative is a little mis-leading....Those two drives weren't like they marched down the field in a totally dominating fashion.

 

The first drive was aided by a stupid facemasking penalty on X. The X man was face-masking Petrino away from the ball....and that kept T's drive alive....Phillips then had a very nice run where from the replay showed 2 X defenders falling down to open up the hole....probably was a fine quick cut from Phillips.

 

The second drive wasn't a drive at all. I believe the interception gave you the ball 1st and goal and T took the fieldgoal...

 

2 drives 85yards...60 of it on 1 play...and some of the remaining 25 on a X penalty.

 

Defensively T did an excellent job of stuffing the middle. Not much of anything was going through there. The sweep and off-tackle was productive.

 

Wade was forcing the issue. His attempted pass to Vic on the slant was very dangerous and almost intercepted...Vic had 3 guys around him. The wide-out on the play was not covered. The interception he did throw was right in the T players numbers. Good coverage by T.

 

The fumble was after a very nice run where Duece broke several tackles for the first. X also stopped themselves after an illegal motion penalty nullified the first down.

 

X was already adjusting....Zoeller came in for Wade...

 

To phrase it like you did...you left out many important details...

 

Could they make up the 10...would X fold in despair and give up?...would T build on this lead?..... would a change in the big MO happen later?.....who knows...maybe..maybe not.......

 

....only 3 more quarters would tell that story...

 

Like I've said several times now...Congrats Trinity on the win.

Thats your side of the story and I'm sure you'll stick to it. I saw an X team that didn't seem ready to play. Turnovers and missed tackles. The Rocks were taking it to them. I think most would agree that it would be a bigger challenge for X to turn it around (minus Vic) than for the Rocks to continue to roll. You also forgot to mention that Trinity would have at least been up 13-0 if not 17-0 by the end of the quarter. Your willingness to throw Wade under the train is a little sad, he is a senior and probably gives X a much better chance for the rest of the season than Zoeller.

Sure Trinity came out and looked good and was certainly dominating the game but there wasnt even a full quarter played. Highlands came out and dominated X in the first half of their game and X was down at the half but look how that game ended up. X came out on fire during the first quarter of the state championship game last year and had momentum too. We all remember how that game ended up. Based on past experiences Im not ready to throw in the towel and say that Trinity would have won. Thats just my opinion.

I guess Trinity would have won the game 52-0 since you can just assume they were going to score at least 13 points per quarter. :creepy:

 

As for Wade I dont think its throwing him under a train to say he was forcing throws and made some bad decisions and needed to be replaced.

Didn't throw him under the train...he was off ....and he was taken out for Zoeller...he probably would have gone back in after he settled down...

 

A a coach..I've taken my best players out of the game when they are off...they get a chance to settle down and see from the sideline what I was trying to teach....they often go back in and do much better.
