But everyone in the stadium knew what Jasper was going to do when they had the ball, RUN. I was not that impressed with Carthage. I would be willing willing to bet if they were to play Gilmer they would get crushed. [/quote] carthage came into a mud pit, dropped passes, fumbled the ball, threw interceptions and still beat a team with only one loss, 27-3. read the stats on this game. what does it take to impress you. #71 on carthage's d-line is exceptional. carthage gave gilmer their last loss. [/quote] I was at the game, you can't base the game off the box score. Due to Jasper's lack of TOP our defense flat out gave out in the end, thus for the reason the score was 27-3. Much closer game than that. [/quote] that 354 to 68 in yardage seems pretty lopsided. did carthage not get close to scoring a few times in the first half and turn the ball over? if that was the case, i guess it could have been 40 or 50 something to 3. sounds like jaspers defense was pretty good at times since carthage went on fourth down a few times. judging from some of the game scores that night, i'm wondering if wet fields contributed to some lower than normal scores.
