This game hopefully helped the LC coaching staff. You have to develop a better passing game. You have the players to make it work. If Kiser drops back instead of rolling last night he may have had more success. Belfry D line to fast for roll outs. From a D coach perspective LC was easy to figure out. Either run off tackle or look to pass to Dalton. Lambert and Shaffer open most of the night. Shaffer had two 3rd down conversions for about 12 yards each. Kiser dropped back on both those plays. They need more short passes and look for YAC than looking to score a knockout every pass. The players are a bit bummed that they almost were able to come out with a win. But at the same time they feel they gave Belfry all they could handle and gained a lot of confidence in themselves. We will see how they respond on senior night in two weeks against the blackcats on Halloween.

I'm sure there are several things they can take away from this game? Anytime you play a good program in a close game situation you get better from it. This game will most likely only help LC going forward with what they learned about themselves on the field. It's not easy to make corrections after a blow out or a win. The past few weeks should have their confidence where it needs to be going into the post season.
