Great atmosphere. Cleveland's first quarter was almost flawless, balanced offense moved up and down the field at will. 2Q starts with blown coverage (beautiful ball and catch by WV) and a WV score. Next came the fumble leading to a WV score, then the interception. I was thinking, "how will these kids respond?"

2nd half - WV marches down the field and scores the FG to go up by one. Both teams trade stalled drives. Then Cleveland airs one out and the team from the 1st quarter showed back up.

Ended up a good win for the Raiders. Take nothing away from WV, they are a solid team. Well worth the trip from mid-TN.

 

Glad you enjoyed the trip. That 2nd quarter had me a little worried. We pretty much handed them 20 points. You don’t usually win games with that many penalties and 3 turnovers. Definitely have a lot of things to work on. On to Farragut.

The guy had his QB run the ball around the edge with 30 seconds left and up by 4 touchdowns. Got hit by four defenders. He’s a clown. Take a knee, celebrate the win. Can win a lot of games with that type of program but can’t see ever winning anything big with that type of culture and 200 yards a game in penalties. Lights were cool, music and sound system were terrible. Would have preferred hearing their band instead music. 

Ya'll are doing alot of crying and they had backups in. Your team got smoked!

No crying at all. Been watching most of those Cleveland kids for years and pull for them. They are a very talented group and are good kids but if you think that’s a well coached team then you know nothing about football. They can out talent teams like WV but that won’t fly against the better teams. Maybe they’ll clean it up but this is 14 games into his tenure and that seems to be the type of culture he creates. Who knows, I could definitely be wrong. Wouldn’t be the first time.

They did not have back ups in. No crying here. Cleveland is better team this year. When you get over 250 yards in penalties, you get criticized.

Yes they did,  Davis and Brayden wasn't even running anymore.  Stop crying.  Only folks crying about rap music playing has a certain look which isn't surprising.

So any team that gets penalties is club culture and bad coached? Some of the flags are janky the refs did them the same way last season when other teams were playing dirty against them.

From what I have seen this year, referees are calling things much tighter than in years past.

That being said, Cleveland teams, over the last 10 or 12 years, have been prone to being undisciplined and getting penalties that really hurt, or large enough numbers that they would get beat when they had the talent to win. Several times I have called Bradley wins simply because of that. IF Coach Tygard can get that under better control, (and that is simply not being stupid at times) Cleveland will return to more of the type of teams they want.

Yeah, but realistically it's a team culture fix. Something you don't fix completely in a week of practice.

Have to get the penalties under control by the Bearden game.

My bad, didn’t realize the refs are out to get you guys.
