Hi Jack Fans,
The Lumberjacks played in the Salt City Bowl this past Saturday in Hutchinson, Kansas. The Jacks came out on the short end of the score, losing 57 to 0. It was a great experience for the Jacks and hopefully next time we will do a lot better. The weather was cold and a slight wind made it feel like it was around zero. It was a beautiful stadium with artificial turf and a great seating area on both sides.
We got behind early on a couple big pass plays and then made a couple of great defensive stops. We struggled on offense all day and never were able to get anything going. We had some things we thought we could take advantage of but were never able to come up with a play when we needed it.
I thought for the most part we did an ok job with stopping the run, but we gave up way to many pass plays for big yards and touchdowns.
The Jacks had a great year with many things to be proud of. We hope going forward this will help us to continue to build our program and make more student athletes want to play for the Jacks. Thanks for all your support of Jacks football and may you all have a Merry Christmas. Seems weird saying that in a football blog.
Thanks again for following the Jacks,
Coach Pfeifer
