The only sliver lining I see with the 3 man front against the non-district schedule is, it’ll be that much easier when they get to single A ball. But that is this week with Raceland and it won’t be easy by any means. We played a 5 man front a lot back in the day, mixed in a  4-3 from time to time. They could play a different front if they wanted to.

Very impressed with how Grayson Montgomery played. Completed 81% of his passes throwing 201 yards and 5 TDs!!!! Great night!

They certainly could. I still say, though, that switching on the fly in a game, when you haven't worked on it, isn't a good idea. I'd also say, if you're a little undersized as a team or lacking depth (and I have no idea if NCC is or not), a 3-man front is probably the better choice. Plenty of ways to generate pressure and different looks out of your base defense. 

NCC will likely be fine. Conner will always be a tough matchup for NCC just because of the size difference between the schools, even if Conner is down a little. The difference between 1a and 5a is getting bigger and bigger.

I believe rjs is spot on.  I was told 4 Dline players that have all started at one point did not play due to injuries.  And with an already small team that has to be a factor.  Not to mention those 3 Dline players probably played every snap on offense.

That's one thing I love about 1A football is all the players that go both ways. But yeah boy that takes it's toll, especially against 5A. 

Congrats to Connor on a dominating performance. NewCath has some obvious issues they need to figure out quickly. Hopefully things get turned around when they get all their guys back up front.
