I'll give you credit for calling this one correctly. Central's defense was vulnerable to the run, and surprisingly to the deep pass last night.  

Why is #2 on the sideline when Central is on defense? 

He's a defensive ballplayer at the next level. Great against the run and covers the deep ball well. Best player/tackler should play safety and HE'S ON THE BENCH?!? Why?

Why go for a 4th and long, backed up in your own territory, down 9, with 10 minutes left?!?! Bet the DC was livid!

I don't know who #2 is, but I'm sure the coaches have a reason why he's not playing more.
I admit I didn't understand the coach's reasoning for going for it on 4th down in his territory, down 9 with that much time left. Obviously he felt like they could get a first down there, and I'm sure he regretted it after it failed. I wouldn't have attempted it under those circumstances - but that's me.
The only thing the DC had a right to be livid about is his defense giving up 49 points.

In 3A ball, you better have your best players on both sides of the ball to be successful.
