Poor coaching today cost UMHB the game.  First, you get behind early because of a slow start.  Kids get it going in the second quarter but that INT in the 2nd quarter was the swing in the game-----now that is all on the QB there.  That could have been at least a 10pt lead going into halftime but instead tie game----10 pt possible swing not to mention UMHB was getting the ball to start the 2nd half.

Got to finish drives.  QB has to take some heat for this because he made some poor decisions in this game.  Play calling was a little suspect at times and conservative--------got to put the damn hammer down.

Defense played well at times but not enough pressure.  When they did get pressure it disrupted Endicott offense and then it was like the defense decided to back off and just play conservative.   2 BIG screw ups in the secondary------------I wouldn't even call that blown coverage-------there was nobody within 20 yds of those receivers when they scored 2 of those TD's.  Time ticking down in the 4th, UMHB needs a score to tie and everyone was just standing there watching the clock tick down.  Poor time management, poor use of timeouts.

Running game finally produced something fruitful.  You got an offensive line that averages 300 pounds, you should be steam rolling defense and racking up rushing yards but the lineman hit one guy and it's like "Well, I did my job"  Get your ass downfield and bulldoze somebody!

WOW, just WOW! I'd love to be a fly on the wall in The Cru's locker room at halftime. There seems to be too many players that think it's just them out there on the field Both the offense and defense need to start working together as a single unit. Perhaps put another QB in and see what happens...how could it get any worse? Seeing some of the Hardin Simmons game I wonder what The Cru will look like against them? If we play Hardin Simmons like we played today they will be able to put at least 50 on the board against The Cru. Start playing the fundamentals i.e.: wrap up and tackle, keep playing until the whistle sounds and stop making bonehead mistakes which collects all those unnecessary penalties to name a few. At the third week of the season everyone should be firing on the same cylinder! Lets do better Crusaders!
