Final.

 

Good to see Dixie find their footing in the run game. They need to protect the ball a bit better though. Defense is really good and was all over the place, only score they gave up was on a busted play, on the first drive. Forced a couple turnovers as well. No major penalties tonight, and in a game with stoppage after stoppage, Dixie kept their foot on the gas. I hope the Hughes kid that went out in the ambulance is ok. Always scary when they bring out the stretcher. Congrats to Coach Burke and Co. Big test Over the next two weeks. 

I counted that Dixie threw the ball 11 times. 8 in the first half and 3 in the second.  Run game looked really good at times with that rotation of Anderson and Mutongwiza Jr. 
Rice had a series of 4 consecutive runs( 3 big positive runs for 1st downs.)  

Shocked it was this close.

It wasn't close. When you run the ball as much as Dixie did, the clock keeps moving. I think had Dixie passed more, score would have been much higher.
