Battle of the Boro

Good win for the Pats

Does anyone know why Jordan James did not play in the 2nd half?  He was standing on the sidelines and did not look like he was hurt.

Not the ending I wished for, however, it wasn’t a complete disaster.  I think we will meet again in the playoffs, and there are some things we both will probably do different. I do think the scoreless second half is more indicative of how close these two programs are at this time.  Oakland has some better skilled positions on the offensive side of the ball.

Hard to really know since there was no urgency on Riverdale's part and Jordan James didn't play in the 2nd half.

An adjustment Riverdale will have to make is take shots down the field with more frequency on the early downs. That or get the ball out of Holcomb's hand quicker, he's a sitting duck out there in a obvious passing down and isn't a threat to run

I believe Riverdale had three timeouts attributed to the play clock running out and two delay of game penalties.   Virtually every snap was taken with 6 seconds or less on the play clock. They were down but they were slow playing because that's what they have been doing all year with big leads against lesser opponents.   Oaklands defense had plenty of time to rest between plays and sub easily.   A faster pace may have helped and saved needed timeouts.   Who knows?

Clock mismanagement did appear to be an issue on offense.

Riverdale will regroup and finish the season in second place.  Not where we wanted to end, but there is still more football to be played.
