Mount Pleasant vs JM Robinson

I was told MP should have beat NW pretty easily however some things didn’t go their way. I believe this is a tough game for both teams.
JM didn’t play their best game vs NW but found a way to win. JM also had a LOT of penalties.

From what I saw, If NW had a competent QB they would’ve beaten JM. The offensive play calling did them no favors either.
We saw two different games then!
Refs definitely gave NW all the help they could,and JM defense held NE to negative yards in the second half.
I will say 11 at QB was a huge huge mistake in that he is their 2nd receiver. If they would have had 1,2, and 11 at WR it would have made the defense work harder.
NW play all was run, run, throw, punt almost like it was scripted! It never changed.
MP was driving deep in NW territory late in the game and fumbled . If they would have scored they would have won.
It really did seem like the refs were leaning towards NW, and it's hard to ignore how the JM defense managed to stifle NE, especially in the second half. Holding a team to negative yards is no small feat and speaks volumes about their execution and intensity.
Your point about having 11 at QB is spot on. Utilizing him as a second receiver instead of the primary quarterback really limits the offensive potential. When you have your best playmakers spread out, it forces the defense to stretch and adapt, rather than focusing on a predictable run-heavy strategy. For instance, if they had their top three receivers on the field, it could have opened up more opportunities and created mismatches that would keep the defense guessing.
And you're right about NW's playcalling; it felt very one-dimensional. The predictability of their offense likely made it easier for JM to prepare and respond effectively.
