Let's take a look back this weekend.
Freshman- Looked good vs West. Larkin continues to wow and rightfully so has been called up. Also called up a OL (Luke) Not sure how he did on the frosh level, but must have been really good in order to start at guard on Varsity. Frosh QB (the one still there) looks good and has a big arm and they have some strong runners on that team. Could be a product of the OL, but i know they have some players at that level.
JV - Finally saw this group play and they are exciting. Offense looked good!!
Both qb's made some big plays. Greene had a breakout game and led the team to a (John Elway type, game winning drive at the end) Big back who runs hard (needs to go north and south and forget about east and west) Defense needs to cover other team;s receivers - understatement here. If Greene was Elway, then LW qb and receiver was Steve Young and Jerry Rice - wow. Big plays (fumble receovery for TD, tipped pass to keep a drive going) Once they settle in with DB's, this team should be good. LW could not run on the D (even with their big back)
V - Tackle, tackle, tackle. We need to get back to the basics and (you guessed it...tackle) We did not look prepared to play a football game. Some may be put on coaches, but a lot needs to go on the actuall players...We were out of sync ( uncovered 2 point conversion, eq. malfunction resulting in a td, and lack of desire to bring the ball carrier down) It didn't help that we were down 18 before we realized the game had satrted. Positives are - We found a qb. Whether its for now or the future, the 'kid' is the real deal. PLaying on one leg, I have to give him his props and the fact that he's only 15 or so... what a player. He will make some frosh mistakes (which he did, but we can all live with that) Running game (when we actually ran the ball) wasnt too bad (Wilcox +Bell) but we need to run it !
Defense - at this point, there is not much to say here other than (you guessed it... tackle, tackle, tackle) Maybe some of the JV or frosh will be coming up if the upperclassmen cant get it done.
This was a game LaSalle should have won - at least on paper
