Newton also had a 70 yd td run called back for holding. Shorter later broke another for around the same yardage.

Newton's speed was impressive no doubt but BC physically pushed them around. BC also had a TD called back, a dropped TD in the end zone on a play where no Eagle was within 10 yards of the receiver (great call-fooled everyone)  and a fumbled punt after a great defensive stand which let Newton score on the following play ( a 2 TD swing and real momentum killer) Newton was the better team last night and they deserved the win, lots of talent, but they got a lot of help from BC as well but that's part of the game. The bright side for BC is that they looked really good running the ball from a 2 back formation when they got away from the spread. Hopefully they use that more in the future because it was very successful. The biggest disappointment by far was the tackling by BC, several times they stood the Newton backs up at the line and instead of putting them on the ground they continued to try and strip the ball. The whole time they were trying to strip the ball the really good backs from Newton kept running and once they broke from the pile and made it a foot race it was over because they are FAST.

Congrats to Newton on the win and good luck during the rest of your season. The Cardinals are a much better team than the scoreboard showed last night and will fine once district begins.
