Good win Corbin. 2A is dang good class and the season still has a long way to go.

Mayfield will get better and you better bet they will defend their home field.

Mayfield doesn't have the quarterback play to win 2A this year. IMO

 

Mayfield will have it figured out for sure. Coach Morris and Staff will have the D ready and QB will be ready by playoff time. Just a bump in the road for them.

We still have our eye on the prize that's won in December. I can promise you that. Tonight was a learning experience. Again, good game Corbin.

Mayfield didn't platoon the QB's this game, a first.

Mayfield got in the red zone 3 times in the first half and came away with a total of 3 points.

Corbin got one td on a trick play, there are trick plays and there are trick plays. This one was the kind I don't like where you pretend to send a man off field but he stays on the sideline then runs down the field wide open. Bush league to me.

Corbin won the game but I'm not sure they are the better team.

Mayfield will be fine and a State title is still very possible when we have home field.

Haddix uses those trick plays a lot. You will usually see 2 a game.

I agree with Snake, tricks plays are one thing, deception plays are another.

 

Credit to Corbin. They were the better team tonight. Blocked better, tackled better, executed better, performed on special teams better, coached better, water boy mixed the Gatorade better... you name it, they were the better team.

 

MF's offense is a rhythm offense. When it's clicking, it's a thing of beauty. When it's off, just by the smallest of things, the wheels come off and it looks like warmed over butt crack. Tonight was the later.

Another thought. I don't agree with calling out a single player. He's a great kid and makes plays for us all the time.

 

1. The deception play just feels like cheating. I would be embarrassed if Joe ran something like that.

 

2. The double move is on the dline. Opposing QB shouldn't have enough time to make that throw.

 

3. Third was just a perfect throw and a great catch. Kid is out there on an island and it's going to happen. You tip your hat to the other team and play on.

 

How many snaps were there in the game? And we're putting this on one play?

 

Line can block better, receivers can run better routes, QB can spin it better, etc. Heck, fans can cheer harder. This was a team loss from top to bottom. Everyone involved bears equal responsibility.

I agree. I didn't like how I was hearing multiple people blaming it on the qb for the loss. Anyone who knows football knows that Mayfield had plenty of chances to bust that game wide open and as a team, they failed to do so.

Just back from the game.. Great game by 2 quality football teams.. It was back and forth all night, blow for blow.. Stats were basically even.. I thought the officiating was okay, not great, but, didn't cause either team to win or lose.. I thought Corbin's game plan worked well for them.. In the 1st quarter, they got the ball 1st and put together a long, sustained drive and even though they got stopped on a 4th down attempt inside the 5, they still ate up about 6 minutes off the clock.. Mayfield then put a good drive together and, like Corbin, ended up coming up empty deep in Red Hound territory.. Corbin ran 4 or 5 plays on its next drive and end of 1st quarter.. Corbin only had 4 1st half posessions and Mayfield had 3 and a 4th but only about 40 secs before half on the last one.. Mayfield was able to muster a fg in the 1st half and ran out of time in the 2nd quarter inside the Corbin 10.. Corbin managed 1 drive that resulted in points and went into the half with a 7-3 lead, but, holding Mayfield to only 3 possessions was a big factor.. They were controlling the clock and Sizemore was big running the ball and keeping drives alive with key 1st half runs and did a great job disguising the bubble screen to Estep, that resulted in some nice gains, as well.. In addition, Sizemore's cadence must have been really deceptive because he caused the Cardinal DL to jump off sides 5 or 6 times in the 1st half, which also kept some drives alive or left them in 2nd and 3rd downs with short yardage which was a bigger factor than most realized.. I thought the Cards had some success on the offensive end in the 1st half, hitting on some key throws and being pretty effective running the ball, they just didn't have enough possessions and Corbin was able to keep Mayfield from getting behind them in the secondary and while the Cards completed some nice passes, the Hound secondary came up big on some plays as well.. Both D's were kind of bend but not break and came up with key stops..

 

The 2nd half, the Cards got the ball 1st and on the very 1st play from scrimmage, hit on a beautiful 65 yard TD strike to retake the lead at 10-7.. After a couple of punts by both teams, Corbin got on the board again with a beautiful pass from Sizemore hitting his receiver in stride in the end zone to go up 13-10 early in the 4th.. After a couple of Card 1st downs, the Hounds then got a pick and had good field position at around there own 40.. They made a couple of key 3rd down conversions in that drive, before Sizemore hit on a 30 yard TD play that resulted in another score, going up 20-10.. That was the trick play that the kid looked like he was going off the field on a player change, but, stayed in bounds and no one was covering and he had an easy 6 into the end zone.. The Cards came right back, scoring on a very good drive to cut the lead to 20-17 with a little under 6 minutes left.. The Cards were able to hold the Hounds to a 3 and out on its next drive and took the ball back with under 3 minutes.. The Hounds held them on a 4th down play.. Again they were held to a 3 and out, but, the Cards had under a minute remaining to try and move the ball 75 yards, but, the Hounds got a sack, an incompletion and then an interception to thwart any comeback hopes the Cards had.. They lined up in victory formation and only had to snap it one time and game over, 20-17 Corbin..

 

Overall, great game by both teams.. Corbin just played a little better and made a couple more key plays.. Very impressed with Corbin's punter, who kicked them into poor starting field position 2 or 3 times when you would have thought Mayfield would be getting the ball in good shape.. Impressed with Estep kid on a couple of runs after catch.. Kid is quick and seemed to get an extra 3 or 4 yards after contact.. Sizemore is a load to bring down, but, also throws a very nice ball and showed a lot of accuracy.. I though Stinson looked good.. Not sure what some on here saw, but, I thought the kid played with poise and made some tremendous throws and had very good pocket presence. I also thought Guthrie played a great game at WR.. Kid has very good hands.. Stinson also punted the ball very well, backing Corbin down deep a couple of times.. The main issue for Mayfield was they struggled running the ball in the 2nd half.. Halliburton, there starting RB, didn't play and Hurt seemed hobbled the whole 2nd half, so, he didn't get any calls with the ball and Corbin obviously made some adjustments and did a better job closing the holes in the 2nd half.. Also, impressed with Corbin's open field tackling and pursuit to the ball.. They made it tough in the 2nd half..

 

Congrats Red Hounds on the win. Mayfield has nothing to hold its head about either.. You played solid all night, just came up a little short and didn't execute as well as usual, but, give credit where credit's due.. Both teams will still be a serious load in the playoffs, I guarantee that much..

Congrats to Corbin, a very even game that saw the lead swing between the 2 teams all night. This game could have been won by either team but the prize goes to Corbels n this round. Good experience for the Cards who have some things they can take away from this to work on to get better. Our one DB got tour he'd for 2 tds we have got to get that fixed. Our young qb had some growing pains tonight that he can learn from. Time to get back to work and see what we can do in the playoffs. Congrats Corbin

I thought Mayfield may take this one, but congrats to Corbin on the win. They have played a very tough schedule so far.

The Redhounds will be barking at the moon tonight.

Classy response, tough loss for sure but games can not and should not always be easy. This game will definitely prepare the Cards better for a playoff run as the staff is the best in the business at making adjustments.

As you well know TP, this is why you guys play the tough schedule every year. Push yourself and get the kinks worked out before playoff time. My thinking is this game just made Mayfield an even tougher opponent in the 2A playoffs.

No place for deception/trickery! Are you kidding me? There is a physical and intellectual side to the game. Prepare one at the expense of the other and you are vulnerable. The old "three in, four out" will catch the nappers. Others, not so!
