Long time listener, first time caller.....
We have a tale as old as time here southern indiana folks, NEVER JUDGE A GAME BY THE FINAL SCORE!
Some real life insight from this traveling tenderloin, connoisseur:
Since my beloved boilers a still weeks away from playing these Saturday high school games have been just the excuse I needed to indulge my tenderloin habit. Let me tell you something I hit gold Saturday at Hilltop Restaurant in Covington, Indiana. What a fried loin! Hand pounded and lightly bread, big enough to hang over the bun but not so comically big that you never get to the bun.... pickles, onion and mustard..... the things dreams are made of but i digress onto the game
The Bombers PHYSICALLY DOMINATED North Knox in this one, especially on offense. It was Penalties that kept the game close (including 40 or so yards on one of the Warriors scoring drives), not play. To the credit of north knox they played very hard and seemed to be a very well coached team. As stated the QB had a nice game RUNNING, did a nice job when the pocket broke down eluding the rush and getting in the open field. He only completed 3 passes. Sure two of which happened to be touchdowns but of those two touchdowns one was a jump ball that his reciever (#20 i believe, also had a big kick return, nice athlete for them. Sorry names elude me no programs available to me) made a nice play on but from my vantage point could have just as easily been intercepted. the other was a hitch on fourth and long that would have been short of first down yardage had it not been for some suspect open field tackling/nice moves by the receiver on the play.
Offensively the Bomber Offensive line had a field day (i'm a fan of O Line play) big holes all day. #32 and #34 for RC are a nice thunder and lightning combo for Rensselaer's inside run game. i left the game with the impression that i had just watched a 42-7 or 49-14 thrashing. i think the stat lines back up that assessment too.
but that tenderloin though......
