Final.

All Owensboro last night. Red Devils are becoming very hard to game plan for. They have been winning through the air, but in a miserable, hard and steady rain for the whole game they showed opponents that the run is also a great piece of their offense. The line opened up holes all night against a good looking Graves County team and backs exploited it until the running clock early in the third quarter. Owsley was off the charts, Green was super solid, and Warren and Tinsley and Hayden still made them worry about the pass in the rain!

Defense was superb, flying to the ball and getting penetration all night. Sales, Glover and Brooks were dominant. Gough at LB was everywhere and Brown came up with a huge fumble recovery. They were always around the ball.

Stats from the messenger inquirer:

RB Owsley had 148 yards on 4 carries with 3 TD

RB Green had 120 yards on 9 carries

WR Hayden 125 yards on 6 catches

QB Warren 9/18 174 yards and 2 TD

All of these stats were basically in 2.5 quarters.

Defense held Graves to 141 total yards

 

Not a ton of holes to poke in the devils performance, if there is any that I saw it’s a lot of dropped balls and they need to be careful with penalties, especially the unsportsmanlike calls. Those kind of penalties in big game can be the difference.

Overall great game.

Great game break down. The game would have been a shut out if not for Owensboro's fumble. I hope the dropped balls do not become an issue. The problem wasn't the weather, it was/is a totally correctable problem. Fix those problems, reinvigorate the running game along with a very potent passing attack and they will be a hard out down the road.
