After mulling things over, Louisa might be okay and win more games than I thought. #72 Quinton Ragland didn't play, and I don't think it made a difference defensively, but I think it will later. The one bright spot of the defense was #5 sophomore RaQuan Jones. On one play in the second half, he stood Victor Greene up one on one and flattened him. Beastly play, and I'm interested in seeing how he progresses. But besides that one play, the defense was atrocious. Yes they're young and have a new defensive coordinator, but they shouldn't be this bad. They started the game like they were going to do something, but things snowballed quickly a few plays later.
I absolutely loved what we did on offense, it's just painful knowing there are a lot of shootouts on the way. We had Courtland's defense on their heels for most of the game. Easily the best offense Courtland has faced so far this year. I can't wait to see the stats. Jones and DeVonte Shelton got some carries at fullback out of I formations a'la Ramsey of Salem, while Whalen got the bulk of the carries. Great mix of single wing, I, and Pistol.
