Trinity's 3rd down conversion rate was off the charts tonight.

 

Henry Clay couldn't cover anything.

Henry Clay's defense was not very good.

100% correct. Trinity must work on their special teams though. That looked about as bad as Henry Clay's defense.

From the score, i'd say T's defense wasn't too good tonight either.

Henry Clay returned a kick-off and a punt for TD's, scored on a 4th and long, and scored on a freak pass play from Minnifield to Boyd.

 

Henry Clay also returned 2 more kickoffs for 50+ yards.

 

Give Henry Clay credit, they have some play-makers, but Trinity's coverage teams are more to blame then their defense.

I wouldn't want to be in that special teams film session in the morning. Much work to do, but I trust they will get it done. Petrino was unreal tonight. Not bad for a kid that managed HM honors in his own district.

Well they will need to fix those things if they want to beat Ryle. But congrats to the Rocks for pulling out the victory despite all of those miscues. Shows the signs of a Good football TEAM.

I imagine that Ryan will be kicking them in the endzone again Thursday....we'll be fine in that department....

 

 

 

Why punt it when Sam Simpson did?

They were pretty good, there was some coverage breakdowns, but the score reflects differently.

RP, you've been a T fan who has been following Ryle quite closely all year. If they make some of these same mistakes thurs, do you honestly think they will beat Ryle?

Great start by the Rocks.... shell shocked the Devils. I thought the intimidation bit was just something last years HC team did but apparently it is their MO. In my humble opinion they should spend less time on chest beating and fancy dances and more time on tackling drills. Athletic talent put some HC points on the board. Talent and teamwork put a lot more on the board. Crowd announced as 42,000+... no wonder the bathroom lines were so long!

Sorry KHSAA....WE"RE BAAAAACK!

Our mistakes were blown coverages in the kicking game, and in the secondary. Now, I don't necessarily think we can afford the over 200 yards in return game that we gave up tonight...BUT, I do think that we will correct it, even if it is a slight correction, with that, I do think that Henry Clay has a more complete stable of athletes than that in Union. I think the Rocks should win this one.
