Okay what did you see that was different on defense from the Washington game? Same scheme and play calls as any other game this season. I saw a few different calls that we haven’t used much since last season on the 1st 2 Boonville drives. Then we reverted back to the same vanilla calls and pass coverage we usually use, unless trips dictated otherwise. What did you see that was specifically designed to slow down Mockobee and the ground game? Tucker came in a few times against their heavy set and that was the only difference. I’m willingly to bet that if you watch the Boonville versus SR and HH games, you will see Mockobee contacted more in the backfield than he was against GS. You can’t give a D1 athlete space and a full head of steam. It will make for a very long night.
IMO being shortsighted is punting to Mockobee twice in the last half of the 4th quarter after punting to a kid twice in the 4th ended our season last year. And needing a 1st down to ice the game on our last possession and losing 3 yards after 3 plays with a D1 QB and maybe a D1 lineman. Your starting RB goes out for 1 of the plays and you don’t sub in Green, Murfin, Luttrell, Malone, Bryant, or Moorman. Instead give it to a freshman that hasn’t played 1 varsity down yet all season.
