Actually YES, Holston was better than most thought. I look at it this way, Holston has improved tremendously since last year and we are not as good this year as we were last year so it kinda narrowed the margin. Nobody on here has said Burton is world beaters, I don't know why everybody makes this **** up.

Holston was not as good offensively as I was thinking but our D did play very well Saturday, especially in the 2nd half. As far as defensively yes, Holston did about as good as you could do to shut us down. With that being said, we also did not capitalize on two wide open passes that were dropped for TD's. So we didn't play well at all on offense Saturday. So if you look at it from a statistics standpoint Holston played Burton better than anyone this year including PV and JJ Kelly.

I actually seen Holston earlier in the year...spin it however you want, but that team isn't very good. It may make JIB feel better, but the truth is you underestimated the opponent. There is no reason in hell that game is closer than 21 points if JIB doesn't put the ball on the ground every other snap and players make plays when they are there to be made. Beating Holston 2-0 is like kissin your sister.

Apparently not...PV and Kelly both handed JIB the ultimate stat...a big "L".

There were only 2 fumbles by Burton Saturday and only 1 lost so not for sure where you are getting that info from

So JIB didn't squander chance after chance to score?..am I missing something? Avoiding fumbles and good execution execution goes hand in hand, but fumbles alone don't dictate execution. If you aren't sure handed with the ball, you execute well at all tho. Guess you should have heard the radio broadcast...I never said JIB lost fumbles, but every time a QB doesn't get the snap, or bobbles the ball, or a RB fumbles, or a WR drops a pass, it's a lost chance and a lost play..and JIB had lots of those Saturday. What I don't get is what kind of chance you guys think you have Saturday if you really think Holston was a good team. On a scale of 1 to 10 I'll give 'em a 6 and that's as far as I'll go. If Holston didn't play in Region C they would have already been gone before last Saturday...but build 'em up if ya want. A win is a win, but at least call a spade a spade.

Please take a look at what I quoted you on supr-beast, probably should have made it more clear, I was talking about the fumbles because you made a point about the fumbles, that's it. I never said we didn't squander chances, so don't put those words in my mouth. I know we did, hell we dropped 2 TD passes and came up short in the redzone a couple of times. I also never said Holston was a juggernaut. We played like crap on Saturday offensively and very stout defensively. I also think we have somewhat of a chance this weekend because we are going to show up for the game, that's all you can ask. The kid's will hopefully go up and leave 110% out of the field, if they do that I will be proud of them.

From what I could tell listening to the game there were a lot of dropped passes on Nortons behalf.

Yes there were Jason, now that I think more about it, there were 3 not 2 as I mentioned earlier. Just a crazy and sloppy game but fun as heck to watch.

I too was at this game... and NOT only are we lucky we didn't let holston slip in and win (Tho They were never really close our D was Tuff we just let them hang around WAAAAAY too long) We easily dropped 3 td passes. So Holston is Lucky it wasn't 23-0. Luck or No we played well enough to win, that said.. they need to Play Perfect this coming up week.. its The Freaking State Championship.. if that doesn't inspire to BLOCK (Burtons Problem mostly was blocking IMO) and Tackle then they should be playing Basketball with the Rest of Region D.

GO RAIDERS!
