The first half they held Burg to what, 12 yd. rushing ? Defense wins games but It's asking way too much when you can't get off the field because your experienced leader is sidelined. *Ironton 31 - Wood 14*wobycat wrote: Sun Nov 01, 2020 3:22 pmI keep laughing at these posts. Ridgewood is better than prep. Way better defensively for sure. The offense now is going to look different with tingle out but you wonder why tingle was so good? His line is good and their skilled kids are good too.Kirtland80 wrote: Sun Nov 01, 2020 3:03 pm I hadn’t kept up with Prep but I’m fairly certain that had roles been reversed last night, Ironton would have beaten Burg by more than a score of 13-10 and I’m not so sure that Wood would have beaten Prep
You could tell right away when tingle went out, the playbook went out the window for the general coaches which slowed them down. In the second half, when it got tight, they took a chance on their back up making a play and he did. Tingle came back in and made a great play too.
ridgewood isn’t great because of solely because of tingle, it’s because they are great defensively. When you’re that good defensively, you can open up your playbook.
I think ironton can win but this will be another battle. What will help ironton is they can stop the run really well which ridgewood is gonna have to become creative and have to scheme around tingles absence. The other thing that hurts ridgewood is their kicking game. It’s not good at all, ironton will work with good field position.
I’ll take ironton 17-14, but it won’t be easy for the tigers
Yeah and when Burg had them on there heels by running Lattimore straight at them and they got to the 20, they take him out and 2 of the 3 next play are QB keepers by two guys that have hardly ran that play all year!!! WHY?????. Yeah, I’m still ticked about that sequence of play calls.
Go hurry up there and keep running right at them with whoever. Swords, Williams, Lattimore r maybe the QB already in the game, Gregg!!
