I'll say this. PV was out-strengthed (if that's a word) and out executed in the 1st half. I can point to 3 plays in the 1st half that kind of swung the momentum to SU.
The 1st was the ball that Ricks threw that SHOULD have been intercepted. He threw it RIGHT to the DB. A friend of mine told me as they were lining up, "If they throw it, it's picked." Soon as he threw it, it went right to the DB. Next thing I know, 2 people were playing volleyball with it. A few plays later, SU scored.
2nd, the halfback toss and pass that PV used. It fooled everybody, and we had a man deep WIDE OPEN, but the throw sailed JUST out of his reach. That was big.
And finally, the 4th down where Ricks was able to escape the PV defender and find what I think was a TE who went up the sideline and into the end zone.
All in all, I will say, great game Southern. You executd your offense and made plays. Now we have to put this behind us and get ready for the other Lew-weezie-ana school.
