Final.

Congrats to Henry Clay. :thumb:

31 points seems like a lot for a defense that I had hear good things about.

42 points seems like a lot against a team that 62% of BGPers picked to win this game....

Basing that pick on an offensive game. Everyonw went on about Simpson, Lawerance, and Carroll. Never said squat about the D which is what the original post was about. Let's compare apples to apples not oranges.:thumb:

Did I hear incorrectly about HC's D?

But I LIKE oranges.

 

 

 

My comment was more about the collective wisdom of the BGPers predicting the outcome.

Nice win for HC.

I didn't...I thought Henry Clays speed would give the neers problems..

To many mistakes by the pioneers. HC has way to much speed, to make the errors SK did and have a chance to win the game.

A fumble on the opening kickoff, and muffed punt lead to scores for HC. First time I've seen Miles Simpson, he is the real deal. But HC just had too much speed.

Intersectional matchups are about which area has the most fans. I doubt many of the people voting have seen both Henry Clay and Simon Kenton play before picking a winner. Since there are more Northern Kentucky posters than Central Kentucky posters, it's no surprise SK would get the nod.

Henry Clay has a very speedy team. You just can't turn the ball over five times and expect to beat anyone. I don't know the official stats but I'm certain HC had 6, five yard penalties on first downs via false starts, and they still were able to move the chains. SK had some nice momentum in the 3rd quarter but the muffed punt pretty much ended their chances. One thing I didn't understand, why did Simpson chose to go for two when HC took a 15 point lead? I thought that was a pretty gutsy move. Miles had one heck of a return for an 85yd TD, like my uncle stated, he's worth the price of admission.

I was disappointed in SK, they dropped a very winnable game. Fumbled the opening kickoff and spotted HC 7 to start the game then fumbled the punt after they closed to within a TD of the lead. HC's speed is overrated, SK had just as much talent on the field but failed to execute. Anyone who was there saw that the SK defense shut down the jet sweep and outside running game at times but did not play with intensity on defense for the entire game. Penalties and turnovers were the difference, I still think SK has a legit shot at returning to the title game if they are firing on all cylinders.
