St. Xavier 23 Central 0

[Tigerpride94]

St.X got the win but was ugly on offense. Defense played great with offense putting pressure on them with turnovers. Impressed with Central not giving up and playing well on defense.

St. X struggled in the run game offensively. This will continue to be a problem against good teams I’d they cannot get it rectified.

 

Also, the Tigers dropped 2 punts which were recovered by Central.

And had fumble Central recovered down in Central territory.

I thought they would be better in the run game this year.

It doesn’t seem to be a point of emphasis.

 

Also, offensive line is below average and running back is not a game breaker. He is a good player with average speed and below average size.

I know offense had bad week of practice and carried over into game. Most of the playmakers at WR are Sophomores so not usually good when relying a lot on sophomores even though they are talented. Lost 3 offense series in 2nd half due to turnovers. Two punt drops were killer.

Also, to your point, most of the playmakers are at WR, not RB.

Seems like Central is always stout on D. I like their style. I had never seen them play until the State Finals last year. They definitely struggle offensively though.

Kicker Jeff Sexton played well hitting two 42 yard field goals and looked like could hit 50 the way they sailed through uprights. Princeton getting a good kicker.

Kicking and punting are definitely weapons for the Tigers this year. Overall special teams units are strong with the exception of fielding punts.
