When the offense wastes drives like they did in this game you really can't blame just the defense 

 

Like i saw what had to have been 10 or more times they called a swing pass to the running back

 

 

Or better yet why do you leave the best running back on the sideline as you are (keeping him healthy for round 2)

 

Then you decide last drive to throw him in,  he could have been used a heck a lot sooner

If you are convinced of what your offense can't do, it's time to focus on what your defense can do to improve.  Focus on what is within your power to control.  Time to move on.

They did look a lot better than past years with what i saw against bartram trail 

 

They did give up a few big plays but they also managed to hold them to just 2 field goals

One of the famous coaches one said that "offenses win games, defenses win championships". Never was something so true. The years when Trinity was getting into and winning championship games our defense was an iron curtain. Even when we had John Brantley at QB our defense allowed him to win games. When the offense is not scoring or getting mired in inconsistent behavior, the defense is there to step up and control the situation. IMO defenses have a lot easier job than offenses. Their job is to outplay the offense using strength and knowledge of formations coming at them. The defense just has to work harder in practice to perfect precise tackling and defending against WR's. In HS football the teams that can defend well against WR's will win most of the time as most teams don't have a clue and/or  the athleticism to properly defend against the pass.

Columbia's offense must have heard defense wins championships, and that's why they let their defense play so much:rolleyes:

Sometimes the best defense is a good offense.  Get ahead by a good margin, the other team gets desperate and start making mistakes.  Likewise, an ineffective offense that keeps going 3 and out, and the defense wears out.   Case in point: 2013 Hardee vs AHP; our defense held them to 10 first half points, got 2 interceptions and forced the to settle for a FG twice.  Offense couldn't move the ball, and eventually, the defense wore out.

That sounds like our game against bartram trail in 2013

 

Might have been one of the worst performances by a passing game i had ever seen that night by Columbia 

 

Even if you have a good defense if they on the field for basically the entire game you not gonna win

 

What our defense got to do?  Score 5 defensive tds by themselves??

There were a number of games over the past three years where your offense put a lot of points on the board, but you D still gave up a lot.  To name a few...

52-34 W vs Gainesville

57-39 W vs Gainseville

35-28 W vs Lincoln

44-41 L vs Escambia

42-27 W vs Chiles

The game against Gainesville in 2015 we were winning by 25 points but we put in backups and they scored 3 times late to make it close before the coaches realized we put backups in way too early and then threw starters back in to finish Gainesville off

 

Lets just say the coaches try to keep those games closer than they should be

 

That game was nowhere near as close as it looked on the scoreboard, looking back on it we should have ran the score up because us being nice to them made us look weaker 

 

I would personally love to beat that team 70-0, certain teams I'm ok letting off the gas on,  not Gainesville. Anytime we play them i want to watch us embarrass Gainesville

So I guess when you lost to Escambia you were up by 30 and sent the backups in too early as well

    • First I want to express my apologies for my absence the last few months. Without going into much detail I have had some personal life struggles I have been dealing with on top of figuring out the direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com in. Things have finally settled out some over the last few weeks although I am not completely out of the woods just yet. Some of the decisions about what direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com have been forming over this time while I went through things. Part of me wondered if it was time to go, but really it is not at all. Thankfully, a loyal supporter near me in Gainesville decided to put their mouth where their money is and did a little investing and today FloridaHSFootball.com launched its first-ever Mobile App. With that said it comes with the sunset of the MVP Membership Subscriptions and thus FloridaHSFootball.com will be 100% free for the first time in a while. This comes as needing to get the clearances with Apple and Google and the current subscription platform we have is not syncing with Apple's system nor with the App itself. Its best we go in this direction to grow fans again and being able to put them facing forward with an app on their phone going forward. Here are the download links for the apps: iOS (Apple): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/floridahsfootball-com/id6477621728 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floridahsfootball.app&hl=en_US&gl=US   For now the forums will not be available directly in the app. At some point I maybe looking at changing the whole forum software that could eventually integrate into the app. It will be a while before this happens so things will go on as they are here.   I also apologize for any of the spam and troll accounts that have managed to find their way around the security protocols in setting up new accounts. It seems every day these things find ways to pass through control systems. I am going to be looking at getting this solved and will keep an eye on things here as we go along.   Please feel free to reach out to me if you all need anything, want to chat or have any suggestions.   -- Josh  
    • They can definitely beat Central. My bulls is a toss up but I feel we should have the edge. EJ will be hard to stop though. Glad they not in 2A with us. 
    • Blountstown at WS Neal AL Sept 27th. Also the Tate vs. Faith Academy game is no more. Tate will be playing Escambia instead now.
    • I like it if there is only 4 classes
