The Lumberjacks hosted the Jaguars from Cole College this afternoon in their homecoming game.
The Jacks came out on top in the game by the score of 69 to 32. We were very pleased with the
offense putting up all those points. We feel we made a few improvements, but we are still making to
mistakes. We feel most of these can be fixed, but we are moving very slowly in that directions.

Our offense had a nice day throwing the ball. We were able to get behind the secondary a couple of times and also missed a couple guys wide open. We struggled running the ball consistently. They constantly brought pressure and we did a poor job of picking it up. That is one area we need to make some big improvements or teams will continue to bring the house at us. We feel we like these are things that we can correct and we need to get it done soon.

Our defense did a nice job today of turning the ball over. We did a nice job against the run, but really struggled giving up the big pass play. Again we think that we can get better defending the pass. When we played solid defense and did our job as a team, we did a nice job. We need to make sure we are all on the same page all the time.

The biggest disappoint is our stupid penalties. Their is no excuse for them, and they will not be tolerated in the future. We want players to play sound fundamental football and right now we have some guys struggling in that department.

Thanks for checking in on the Jacks and hope you have a great weekend. We play this Thursday at Mayville State JV.
