Whitehaven never had a chance

[peddi631]

I thought the refs did a good job on the game. Maryville looked to be in trouble when i saw the size difference, then i remembered who was coaching.

Whitehaven just lost their composure in the end.

Whitehaven lost this game because of 3 things:

1. They stopped trying to pound the rock, and started acting like they were the '99 St. Louis Rams.

2. Their special teams unraveled in the 4th quarter, resulting in a -8 yard punt, followed by a punt that didn't even go 20 yards (ultimately ended up in 2 Maryville scoring drives).

Which leads me to the 3rd and biggest reason;

3. They did it against Maryville. If there is one team in the state that you don't want to f##k around with and screw up against, it's the Red Rebels of Blount County. They did, and they got beat.

End of story.

Exactly. If you make mistakes against Maryville, CQG will eat you alive.

I would safely say Whitehaven had the personnel to win that win by 2 td's. But Maryville being Maryville "better coached / better scheme" was the difference. Thought Whitehaven should have tried to get to there playmaker (#5 I believe was his #) in space more oftern on short throws (screen, bubble, flare, jet sweep, etc) but easier to say that when your not in the fire... Was a good game to watch, one of the better Maryville teams I've seen. Would have loved to seen them and Ensworth battle. But only in fantasy world......
