I think it was 17-0 CCH with around 3 or 4 minutes left and they threw a td pass on 4th down to make it the final of 24-0.

 

 

 

I don't see the big deal in that, especially with some backups in. But who knows? I was being a chatty cathy during that game.

CovCath big. Great idea getting Van Sant the ball more if it happens.

VanSant has been getting snaps during practice, from what I've heard, so I'd assume he'll be used some at the qb position until Isler gets back. I'd expect to see them utilize him on QB draws if he's in taking snaps. Don't expect him to throw the ball much.

CovCath in a landslide. Holmes is really struggling right now. If you'd have asked a few weeks ago my opinion might have been different.

1st and goal at the nine yard line with 1:47 left in the game and CovCath up 17-0 with Holmes out of time outs. BTW all the starters were still in the game for CovCath! CovCath AD Mike Guidugli apologized to the Holmes coaching staff after the game for the play. It was indeed the correct time to take a knee.....

 

 

To listen to the replay of the game.....Note: See around the 2:03 minute mark for the last 2 minutes of the game!

I like CovCath by about 28 with Young having his breakout day. He needs to see some defenses that aren't as tough as Beechwood or Elder to really get in the flow with this offense. If Isler doesn't play for another 2-3 weeks I see Young handling this team almost just as well as long as he gets snaps under some less pressure to boost his confidence and feel with the team.

Interesting to see how the commentators commented on the situation repeatedly. I wasn't at the game, but it seems that Cov Cath should have taken the knee in that situation. But, as for the game I just see Cov Cath as having too much for the dawgs, but I think the game has the possibility to be a close one.

 

Holmes: 14

Cov Cath: 28

Early in the season I thought that Holmes could challenge in this game, but if their QB is out it will be really tough. No offense last week @ Campbell...

Cov Cath 49

Holmes 0

This would be a great week for the Bulldogs to get back on-track, but I don't see it happening. This is also the time of year that Cov. Cath. gets it going. Gotta go with C.C.

Covington Catholic 24-7.

Cov Cath names the score.

I have to disagree on this. I think Young is great kid and he hasn't given up on playing and I certainly don't wont to get down on the young man. He throws a nice ball, but he just doesn't have the arm or the size to compete at this level. Also, he has a tendency to get picked. Last year, he took most of the snaps in the JV games, but never really seemed to develop. He had many games in which he threw numerous interceptions.

 

IMO, instead of having Van Sant line up at QB he should be used in the backfield with Deters in an I or split set. Use their huge line to create space and let the defense try to defend Van Sant on the run or pass. They should also give Erpenbeck the call at QB and just let him play. He has a strong arm, has good size, runs well and is accurate. Last year when he did get a chance to play JV, he was able to move the team and made good decisions. Without being disrespectful, I understand that coaching at CCH is difficult, but the CovCath coaching staff has no idea how to develop QB's. This year the QB coach is a former lineman.

 

I have, in past post, suggested that the coaches should be given a break, but this makes no sense to me. To have Van Sant taking snaps when he has not played the position in high school seems more like a gimick than a solution to the problem, especially when there are much better alternatives.

 

There a many talented players on that team that just seemed to be overlooked...I could be wrong but it sure seems that way.

:thumb: Your post makes sense to me.

 

It's surprising that Covington Catholic's QB coach is a former lineman. Very surprising, actually.

 

What I don't get is using Van Sant at QB if Isler (who is obviously the #1 QB) is going to be out for a few more weeks. If you're going to put Van Sant at QB without an intent to throw the ball, save it for the playoffs so opposing teams won't be able to prepare for it.

CovCath by a bunch.
