I’m not sure they are capable of tweaking their offensive scheme. Obviously, you need to score points to win games and that offense vs LCC was not going to score. Also, hats off to #75 for LaVille. He’s one heckuva a player. High motor, big kid. Is he playing somewhere in college? I wonder if Rochester is kicking themselves in the pants. Even the slightest passing game or a kicker for that matter...they are more than likely playing Luers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaVile for the most part took away the Lcc pass attack... after forcing some throws n 2 int's the QB fig it was better to take off.... something I've not seen him do much... the Lcc O then went to the run game with success... nice adj by Lcc giving em control of the game.... Was discussing this two with some LCC dads at half. Reminded us of when Denhart was LCC's QB. He would never take off past the LOS when he was flushed and, despite his arm and receivers, defenses stayed disciplined and didn't come off the backs when he'd move out of the pocket. Made it easier to have impact on LCC's passing game. After at least a season, they finally got Denhart to takeoff. He didn't gain a lot of yards on the ground, but the fact that teams now had to worry about him doing so meant his passing stats benefited greatly. Hoping Metzger will see the same. Nice seeing the switching, just about every play, between Page and Meister during the second half of the game. Fresh legs and slightly different running style made it harder for LaVille to control for the run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxbat Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 BTW, I posted this over in the scores thread game night, but best hit of the night came via LCC punter, Ray Clayton. Looks like someone got it on film. If you head out to MaxPreps and look at LCC videos, https://www.maxpreps.com/in/lafayette/lafayette-central-catholic-knights/football/media/videos/ and select the LCC-LaVille game video, you get to see the hit at the very end of the video around the 4:50 mark or so.

Vrs Rodchester he easily could hav taken off for at least one major 1st down.. on 4th down.. keeping the drive alive!! ... maybe one or 2 more... hopefully he understands better now.. what just the threat of that can do to how opposing D backs make decisions....

Laville boys hung tough but end of the day offense was way too predictable. Laville's playcalling was what it has been for years. They try to out flank you and find a numbers advantage. In the past, it was easier because they had more studs. In 2019, I thought their playcalling was very good. They had a better passer. Plummer's strength was in his legs. He was limited in what he could do passing. The coaches that are with those players everyday know what they can do and they call plays to their strength. I am pretty sure that Laville got the most that they could out of this team. If the field conditions are different week 1 of sectional, I am not sure Laville is even in the regional. I am still trying to figure out what even happened at the end of that game. The referees in that one looked to have no clue of what down it was, clock management, or general playclock rules. Honestly, some untimely flags against LCC seemed to keep it closer than it really felt. It never seemed that Laville was really ever in the game. The score board showed the opposite obviously. I am just saying the flow of the game always seemed to be in LCC's favor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and the whistle on 4th down as LCC tried to draw LaVille offsides and, instead of a re-set and restart of the play, the ref just looks over at LCC's head coach with a "what do you want me to do about it" gesture as the play clock continues to wind down. On the LCC side of things, props have to be given to LCC's D who ended up with a chunk of LaVille's series, early in the game, starting in Knights' territory. Turning point where I think the defense had that flicker that they were starting to control LaVille was when they forced that field goal that was racing with itself to see if it was going out of bounds or over the goal line.

I am just saying the flow of the game always seemed to be in LCC's favor. Not sure I agree that Laville was never in the game. Laville had a couple drives early that ultimately stalled out where they were getting 5 yds/carry. Had a man open in the end zone that got overthrown near the end of first half, it was a tough throw. Game turned when LV dialed up a trick play on 4th and 7 from LCC 38 and lost 15 yards near end of 3Q. I have seen us look overmatched in the past w/ Pioneer, Andrean last year, etc. but didn't seem that way Friday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
