Southwind @ Henry Co (Round 3)

[TraderB]

Prediction:

The way this game is playing out, if HC ever falls behind, they are in HUGE trouble!  They absolutely can NOT stop Southwind's offense, not even close!

To their credit, however, they're executing on offense at CRITICAL times - keeping drives alive....

At this rate, Southwind's defensive line is going to tire out...sooner or later! They've been on the field a LOOONG time, getting leaned and pushed on!

14-13 HC up at half 

[TraderB]

HC driving again, aided by clutch THIRD 4-th down conversion...

2 secs remaing in 2nd qtr.... HC at SWs 30 or so... time out HC....

FG attempt upcoming.... FG no good....

 

HALFTIME:

HC 14

SW 13

I fully expect HC to do an on-sides kick, coming out for the 3rd quarter!

SW's coached should 100% expect it, as well.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After watching this game play out, this much if OBVIOUS:

1) HC likely MUST score every time it gets the ball in order to beat SW.

2) SW's defensive coordinator desperately needs to make some adjustments to HCs QB keeper to rightside....  That's the ONE thing that has hurt them all night long, consistently.

3) If SW can finally get a 4th down stop, at some point -- any point, they will absolutely win this game.... If they can't stop HC on 4th downs, SWs defense will wear out, leading to a HC win.

4)  HC's defense will need a near-miracle or turnover in order to stop SW from scoring, given that SW's offense has not shot itself in the foot too much with silly drive-ending penalties.

If only Mt Juliet could’ve made it past those trash Memphis special teams they might’ve gotten some hardware in their trophy case.

Ah the sensitive in denial Memphis folk… how’s it always nice to rattle your feathers once or twice a year.

2nd-half... No on-sides kick, to my surprise.

SW drives down inside HC 10, but gets a holding penalty to kill drive, ending with a botched FG attempt.

HC still leads 14-13 5 mins rmgn, 3rd qtr

 

[TraderB]

Here's first test for SWs defense... HC 3rd and 5, from its own 20..

ANOTHER successful HC screen pass on 3rd and long... first down HC at its own 35.... 2nd and 10

 

 

[TraderB]

Another big QB-keeper for big gain...

SWs did not figure it out  at halftime

End of 3

HC 14

SW 13

HC driving

[TraderB]

HC down to SW 30, as 3rd qtr ends...

HC still up 14-13....2nd-down & 7.

----------------------------

2nd half appears to be a carbon-copy of 1st half.
