PHJIrish

With a 20-6 win over Warren Central yesterday, the Cathedral Irish Freshman complete an undefeated season (7-0) The Irish JV also won yesterday 14-12 over Warren Central.

Well, the Dolphins had to depend on their 3rd string QB today, and the Colts found a way to get past them. It was not a highlight game, but a much needed win. It'll probably be that way the rest of the season, 'til Richardson gets some needed experience.

IU has better starting QB's, that's for sure. Jackson will not be a big drop off for the Hoosiers.

Throughout the years, the Colts have lost games against backup QB's. This one today could be another one. Miami is up 10-3, and the 3 came on the last play of the half.

#5 Georgia has beaten #1 Texas 30-15. Another fun day of football! And the game was played at Texas!

The Irish played very conservatively last night. It was as if they just wanted it to be over. Three turnovers lead to Warren Central "drives" of 5, 12 and 2 yards. Very uncharacteristic for this year's team. They had excellent field position for most of the game, except before the fumble near the end of the half. Cameron Koers didn't play his best, some credit to the WC defense for that, as did the OL have a tough night. I received some information after the game that makes me hopeful that the injury situation will be better in the next week or two. Things are not as bad as it seems, but the Irish must play better than they have the las two games. After the Center Grove game, the offense has been quite spotty, to say the least. The good news is the defense has played a bit better in the last two games. Two weeks off with benefit the team both with preparation and healing. GO IRISH!!!!!

Another noon 'til midnight Saturday of football! What a strange day! And I even made time to watch some NHL hockey and some baseball playoffs. I'm like a kid in a candy store on Saturdays, this time of year.

#1 Texas is behind #5 Georgia 23-0 at the start of the 2nd half.

A lackluster first half for the Irish.

The Irish are having another slow start today. Hopefully things will get better later on.

The Hoosiers played quite well today!😉

Too many Irish turnovers led to 3 easy scores for the Warriors. And the final score was 34-26. The Irish drove the ball the Warren Central. 3 with about 25 seconds left but didn't score.

This is the "real" season that's beginning. This is where hardware is the result of winning. Strange things seem to always happen during this season.

Colts won a grinder today 20-16. It helped that the Titans offense was inept. It was a nice win, though with the Colts injury situation. Richardson and Taylor didn't play today. Flacco did a fine job though and the receivers had a very good day.

Thanks for the link and the reminder.

"Bama finally won 27-25. I wonder if you can consider South Caroling a directional school?

For those still interested, like me, the ND 4th quarter is on CNBC.

That's an interesting question. One that's also impossible to answer, but it does coincide a bit. Roncalli football numbers seemed to be down last night.

Roncalli was much better this season than last. In fact they took the opening kickoff and kept the ball for over 7:30, before turning it over on downs at the one yard line. And do you think it's a coincidence that Center Grove football took off about 20 years ago? I don't believe you build a winning program just by playing weak teams. Cathedral has played Cincinnati St. X since the 90's and have only beaten them three time, for example. Also the enrollment at Roncalli is almost equal to that of Cathedral. I don't know the numbers now but Roncalli had a few more students recently than Cathedral. And the numbers seemed to be down somewhat on the Roncalli sideline also.
