North Mesquite - 29
Hurst LD Bell - 7
This game proved that a team that is inferior in talent, size, speed, and experience can come in and embarrass a team in their home opener by a well executed game plan.
By watching our game film from Bowie, they knew our teams strengths. They knew we could throw the ball downfield. They knew our secondary is a 4 man interception machine. They knew that our team was suspectible to the outside run. So what do they do?
-They ran a dime package all game defensively. 6 DBs, 2 LBs and 3 DL. The whole game.
-They did not throw a pass all game long.
-They ran the same exact play the whole game. Power toss to the strong side. Every play. The whole game. Nothing else.
The North Mesquite coaching staff decided to take their chances and execute the game plan above, and capitalize on our mistakes. They waited for us to make mistakes, and when we did, they would take advantage of it.
Opening drive of the game, they power tossed their way all the way down to our red zone. Then, a fumble.
We get the ball, but Joe Mauro fumbles it right back to them on the 2nd play from scrimmage, after an unsuccessful pass play.
They score. We get the ball back, and go 3 and out. They return our punt for a touchdown.
We get the ball back, and they pick off Joe's first pass and run it in for a touchdown or to the goal line(can't remember). It was 20-0 with about 8 minutes to go in the first quarter.
Our defense caught onto their offensive game plan and held them for the rest of the game. Power toss just didn't work for them. But they didn't need to change it, they were up 20-0.
Our offense moved the ball well. But we would end up making a drive killing mistake. 8 dropped passes, at least 10 poor snaps, and blown plays. A real confidence killer all together and being down big early didn't help. Too many interceptions thrown because our recievers not picking up the audible call.
However, we can use this loss to our advantage. We came in big headed because of last week and it showed. Now we know we aren't invincible and are going to have to work harder for a win. Just letting people know that the Blue Raiders aren't done yet! 8 more games left and mistakes that can be fixed and worked on. And although opposing teams might use North Mesquite's defensive game plan against us, will they actually try their offensive one?
