Matney would have gone for two and the win - not the tie. The game was winnable, even with Johnson Central's archaic offense. That is reason enough to think twice before "modernizing" that offense.

I do not believe it was so much the offense that JC runs, that kept JC in the game last year, as much as their size. HHS is almost always small in size, but quick. JC was much bigger on the line than HHS last year and was able to push HHS line. Is JC going to continue to be able to field a team of that size? If not their offense will be in big trouble, because they could not win when they had a size advantage. If they do not have size advantage, and continue to run the same offense, the games will continue to look like this years game.
