Wow the TL camera work is epically bad.

The WF defense is definitely better than their offense. They've adjusted a bit and are plugging some gaps.

PNG shouldn't have any trouble with West Fork... until next year

Even in the PNG v Huntsville game. The shanked punt was the only reason HV had a chance to get to OT. The game really wasn't that close. The play clock, and everyone has talked about this, was a drive-killer for the NDNs. They had to make more plays than they needed to. In the end.. PNG forced a long FG and the clock was an issue.

Without quoting Rez again... And it's a perfect example of how bad clock management can screw up your win probability. I can point the 5AD2 title game last year and call that historic win a MASTERPIECE of excellence in clock management. The onside kick and forcing TOs before Coach Todd even knew he was beaten by the odds. Time outs are undervalued and sometimes, and it's the HC's job, to manage the gameplan. And, if a HC is 12-0 in one score games, we should look at how this is related to using the time, in any given game, as an edge. If a team wins by 30 points the clock doesn't matter. If a team is always ahead or nearly behind, against another great team, in a close game, and the other team is always out of TOs? It's an edge. The clock management strategy was already happening in games like this when a coach knows how to game the clock/ It was happening in the 1st half and managing possessions going into the 2nd half. I watch NCAA and HSFB almost exclusively. I like Texas, ATM and LSU. Les Miles made me go bald on Clock.

Yup!

Very interesting. Are they letting the class of 2025 graduate without going to a different school?

I saw also. It was not handled well and it's not what I was thinking about when I started this thread. I'm asking about coaching and the coach's role in using the clock as an edge. And, incidentally, PNG coach Jeff Joseph seems to be really good at it. There's many different things to consider. Forcing TOs, staying in-bounds, running vs passing etc. It just seems boring but I think it's underrated.

How many games have you seen where the clock management either won or lost the game? I think some coaches are just better at this part of the game.

PNG really did do an absolutely STELLAR job of containing the RBs. The improvement in that respect is truly shocking tbh. Great job

Well that's a win for PNG. Lots of work to do on the Defensive side. The QB run especially. Still having teams miscues that need to be cleaned up as well.

It looked like they had no idea the fake punt was coming

Wow those Huntsville RBs are good. I think the PNG defense becomes Damage, Inc. against a less experienced and smaller O-line. Penetration and disruption will slow that run game and keep the chains long and getting pressure on passing downs will be key. If that happens PNG OL will lean on the Hornets and Blair+Tyson will run all over them. A couple good shots deep will have PNG up by 10 and choke-out mode in the 4th. PNG by 10

I just saw this.. I guess it isn't a rumor [Hidden Content]

I would also add that if SOC had won the game there would be no discussion. this is all just pettiness. ...and I'll take the over 😀

Nice!

I found that nickname to be corny. A little over the top too. Kinda like they were trying to be too scary.

Does PNG Defense have a nickname? If they do, I haven’t heard it. They deaerve one with the way they play. It’s cool to play Defense!

Not on youtube. The link is in the second post on page 8 of this thread.

This is on point!

I think the strength of SOC is the secondary. They are really good. NDNs on offense are gonna have to keep them honest to keep the running lanes open. I don’t think PNG can get behind the corners but RPOs and double moves will suffice. If PNG can get out front by 2 scores we got something!
