From reading the write-ups in the papers, I'd say the 5-6 turnovers they committed played a bigger part in the loss for Gate City than anything. It's hard to obtain rushing yardage or offensive stats when you give up the ball to the opposing team that frequently.
what about that quinton jones? he's only a freshman and hes a beast! is he a starter?
I don't believe he is a starter.
Jones doesn't start this year.

The biggest reason we(GC) lost was because PV just flat out played us on both sides of the ball!
The simple truth is GC had 4 first downs and barely oner 100 yards of offense. That DOES NOT win games.
The simple truth is the turnovers hurt also...If the shoe was on the other foot the turnovers would be brought up also...The turnover hurts GC alot
Yes, the turnovers did hurt. But not as much as the DEFENSE. PV had a few turnovers also. One of those turned a scoring opportunity into a 1 yard TD drive for GC. A lot of teams would have just folded after that. PV did show a lot of heart. I'm not knocking GC at all. They are a very good football team.
If I remember correctly PV first points was off a GC turnover...I know both teams played well but turnovers did accounted for some of it.
Unfortunately neither team is going much farther unless they really catch fire [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
