This game was closer than the score NCC had 3 TD late in the 4th

Great job by both teams and congrads to NCC for movein on.

U-G-L-Y these offenses got no alibi .....they ugly, hey-hey they ugly.

 

Or maybe it was good defense?

 

 

Anyone got a calculator so we can total up the turnovers in this one? I know I need more than 10 fingers to count them all.

 

7-0 for the longest time via an interception return by NewCath.

 

Finally 14-0 after a HC turnover gave NCC another short field and NCC decided to just run the ball.

 

Defense scored 14, offense scored 14 thanks to getting the ball from the defense.

 

Holy Cross moved the ball at times and then turned it over. NCC moved the ball at times and turned it over deep in HC territory a couple of times.

 

HC punting was not good. NCC kick coverage was great. Considering the field position NCC had all night kudos to the Holy Cross defense.

agree with your assessments, can't understand why we all of a sudden change our offensive stategy. Tonight we abandon the passing game and turn into a running team, which we are not. I hope we can come up with more than the two running plays that we seem to have used all year. Still a win thought:sssh:

HC likes to play the Breds tough. Way to pull it out New Cath keep it rolling boys!!

I can't find fault with running the ball because between the interceptions and dropped passes its not like the passing game was clicking. Not that the running game was much better with fumbles and not getting a lot of yards.

 

Basically NCC's kicking game was the best thing on the field, so why not punt and play defense since HC's offense was not moving the ball either.

 

Just about every year teams have to win an U-G-L-Y one somewhere in the playoffs.

Very true. You have to survive an ugly game if you want to make a long run to the Ville

HC like to play the Breds tough but NewCath by 21+

 

That was my post in the prediction thread Thankyou very much!!

Watching both offenses the first three quarters was pardon the cliche "like watching paint dry " .:sleep:

Exactly

Both defenses was attacking the ball causing turnovers. IMO, NCC is the better team. But only from the coaching stand point. NCC QB is better, but from there on, they match up evenly.

CONGRATS TO NCC ON A NICE WIN! GOOD LUCK NEXT WEEK!
