I know that you have taken up for us, but not many have, So I just wanted it to be clear that we just completely out-played Murray.
And it is completely fine with me that no one is expecting expecting anything out of us.
We started out on a high note with a big win over MC, which now many think is an "anomaly". Horse-poo, we had a gameplan and executed it to a T. MC put all their eggs in Hughes basket and we dedicated our linebackers to spying on him all night, anybody who was at that game will tell you he never left the backfield without being touched.

Next, Central Hardin came in and flat manhandled us, which began the exposing of our suspect defense.

Next Mayfield came in, we played with them part of the game, but our defense and some critical mistakes in the second half which Mayfield immediately capatalized on put that one out of reach.

After that we handled Graves, and Madisonville.

Next we headed up to Caldwell, the game start out as a shootout, and it seems both offenses are very good and neither D is making a stop.
8 seconds into the 2nd quarter, we lose our starting QB, --8 seconds--
Even then we keep it a 1 score game until late. Our backup QB, who had no prior starts makes a couple of critical mistakes, which end up costing us dearly. At that point on, everyone who did not see the game believes Caldwell is the greatest thing since sliced bread and PT has no chance.
Most of the Caldwell faithful do realize that the loss of the starting QB played a major role in the outcome. I am not implying we would have one, because it is a hypothetical, but I think Caldwell knows not to expect a cakewalk if we meet up again.

Since those games PT has changed its defense, and gone away from the 3 man front, which I believe was the main reason the good running teams were gashing us up front. It looked better, but it was hard to judge against Trigg, Union and Fort Campbell.

Which brings us to the Murray game- Senior night- I hate those because it always seems to put everyone in a daze. We open up the game with a freshman trying to field a pooch kick over the shoulder, which he promptly fumbles and Murray recovers and while we are still reeling from our bloody lip proceeds to punch it in the endzone.
Murray proceeds to pooch it to us again, and recover yet again. They march it down to the 4 yard line and not wanting to go down 14 we decide to wake up. we come up with a big fourth and goal stop on the 2 yard line. From there the offense took over and marched it 98 yards for a score, tie game.
Murray comes back with a nice return drive and big broken assignment pass play to burn us for about 60 yards, and marches into the endzone. The PT offense comes back and scores again, tie game again 14-14.
Murray comes back on offense but this time the PT defense holds, Pt gets the ball back and scores again. PT scored 5 times in five possessions after the initial 3 and out. Did I mention our offense is doing alright? Sayveon MCEwen, sr RB has about 1000 yards rushing for the season is averaging a salty 15.5 yards per carry.
The second half was pretty vanilla, Murray had a couple of nice drives to open the second half and PT stopped all but one of them. PT seemed to go away from their first half running game but I figure the coach was working on other things with a comfortable lead.
All in all PT has came a long way, Murray was a good team, and PT proved they ARE improved by beating them.

Geez, I have been pecking and venting on this computer for too long-I'm out!!!
