Baytown Lee vs Rosenberg Terry

[gary-us-bonds]

I left at the end of regulation when it was tied at 24.  The Chronicle says Terry won in OT 31-24.

Having said that....

Lee's qb threw four intereceptions and also had a fumble, so five turnovers from the qb position.

One of the fumbles and one of the interceptions both set Terry up inside Lee's red zone.  Lee had another fumble by a running back to end up with six turnovers on the night.

When you're -5 in the turnover game, it's going to be tough to win. 

Lee held Terry all night until the final drive of the game.  It was the only time all night that Terry was able to drive more than 30 yards.  Unfortunately, it was the drive they needed as they were down seven at the time.  They were able to go about 80 yards in maybe 15 plays for the tying touchdown. 

A couple of things.

1)Lee is giving good effort.

2)It might be time to let the freshman get in there at quarterback and see what he can do.

The quarterback they have now just isn't working out.

3)The coaches are really bungling the use of Jaevon Richardson.

He is in there on Lee's first offensive possession.  He catches two ball for about 30 yards, one of them being an easy touchdown.  Then, they never really get him the ball again the rest of the game on offense.  He is the only weapon they have on offense other than running back Dandrick Jackson, yet they continue to use him up and tire him out by making him play every single down on defense.  They have other guys that can do an adequate job at cornerback, particularly when Terry threw for negative one yards on the night lol.  They are just wasting him away on the defense.  It makes no sense, and hopefully they figure that out with as much money as the 14 coaches must be making between them all.

He rarely even got in the game on offense after that first drive.  You'd think that somebody might stop and think back to how easy it was to score that first drive.

The only times they scored after that were on a 74 yard run by Jackson and on a 3rd and long blind hog finding an acorn type play where the qb hit Trent Warren across the middle for a 60 yard td.  They simply don't have the goods on offense if Richardson is going to be exhausting all of his energy on defense.
