Complete meltdown by the offense. I lost count just in the 1st half of the unforced turnovers with bad snaps and handoffs. We had like 2 or 3 interceptions but not one of those were anywhere near the intended receiver.
I also lost count of the false start and illegal motion penalties, this was like a team who was in the 1st game of the year instead of the 5th. This team is going backwards just like last year only sooner this time and all of that is just what went wrong on offense. This defense has been suspect all year and it just got exposed by an offense with half a pulse. This has got to be the most fundamentally unsound defense and team Lawrence County has ever had and it was pretty bad last year also. The kids on this team act like they have never been shown how to wrap up and tackle. People can go ahead and defend the coaching all they want but when a team has no fundamentals and gets worse as the season goes every season then that must rest squarely on the coaches shoulders period! Next season will be rinse wash repeat. We will start with about 4 or 5 bad teams to hide how bad we are then get embarrassed when we are forced to play someone good by our district schedule. Way to much speed, talent and athleticism on this team for it to be playing this bad.

I agree with about everything you said except "fundamentally unsound defense", in order to have that you first have to have a defense and with LC giving up 163 points this year it would seem we have NO defense at all. Sure we have won 5 games only because the teams we have played had even less defense that we do. Now comes along Raceland who had a solid D and we crumble like a 6 week old pop-tart. I have yelled, preached, cussed for several years now on the tackling our team tries to do. Maybe one or two tackles a game we wrap up. Why you ask? cause we NEVER hardly work on it in practice,not even in summer practice. This team has way too many skill players not to be winning and winning big. Someone needs to take the linemen to the side for 30 minutes each day and work on nothing but blocking and tackling. You have 30+ guys standing around during practice watching the starters run plays. How about some inner squad scrimmage? Teach them what it feels like to hit a hard runner and not wait till game day for them to experience that. Other than that I feel we have a great coaching staff, and when it comes to offense they are some of the best, but unless you plan to score 40-50 points each game you better have a defense that can hold someone in the teens.
