The Crosby defense was the deciding factor in this game. NC had the ball twice inside the 10 in the fourth qtr and turned it over on downs. I thought our D did a good job in the second half. That one 55 yard run was the only big play allowed. I did not think #31 had a chance of catching him but managed to have just enough angle to make the stop. Your D had a good game plan to stop Allison. He finished with 24 yards on 17 carries. This game did not hurt either team in getting ready for playoffs. No injuries and a competitive game. I thought once you gave us the ball with about two minutes to go we would score but your D stepped up and put pressure on Cooper to stop it from happening.
I was there, things got a little chippy a couple of times but I did not see any really out of control or cheap shot plays. It is an emotional game, especially last game of regular season with district championships on the line.
My one take away is your QB. We all know what kind of player he is but he was a little rough on his own teammates a couple of times. And stood on sidelines by himself.
NC receives second half. I have to give Crosby their props, they are the best D we have faced this year. I look for some adjustments second half. The middle is wide open when we go with no RB. 30 blitzes just about every time and a middle screen is there.
