4A State Championship: Rose vs Catholic

[BlueStar12]

I thought we'd see that too.
On the 4th and goal when Powell started moving to his right I knew that play was dead because that CC LBs were coming up and the line had broken down for Rose.
That goal line stand was what I believe won the game for Catholic. I looked at one of our coaches after that and you could just tell Catholic was about to pounce.
All in all, Powell is a great athlete though, he did burn CC several times(outside of kickoff), including a passing TD on a 4th goal I believe in the 2nd Q.
I do think his fumbled punt was bigger than some think. Led to a Catholic TD and after that our special teams seemed to settle right in.

2 plays to get less than a yard, basically 6 inches or less on fourth down. And I did not understand sweeping to the short side of the field, if he was going to sweep at least let Powell run it to the wide side and use his speed.

I thought they'd have their RB jump over the line and try to get it. Or a QB sneak with Powell or regular QB. Play calling was odd, but I'll take it lol

Tango, I agree. Great play on his part, just waited and then lofted it to the receiver. Not forced or anything.

There is a fine line between winning and losing and this is a perfect example.
