<p>I'm sorry, I know it's only a game, but why was there no one back for the kick off on the last on sides kick off by Susquehanna? To lose a game that way is just sad. What were the coaches thinking?</p>
<p>can you expand a little on the play? I didn't get to catch the game. Did Susquehanna kick deep and we had no one back?</p>
<p>I will summerize:
KP played very well in the first half. Defense was on fire but you could see them starting to tire toward the end of the half. SU made adjustments at half knowing the Defense was getting tired. Our D front just could not keep up the haevey rush on the QB which gave SU QB a long time to throw, coverage was good but you can't hold off that long. On Offense KP never changed its game plan. They hardly ever throw on non passing downs they tried to control the clock with the run but SU was stopping it. Typical series for KP: send a man in motion, run to the motion side on first and second down, third down, try to pass when everyone in the stadium knows what is coming.<br>
Regardless KP won the first half & SU won the Second but KP should have won, the coaches took it out of their hands.
SU scored with 30 seconds left in the game. KP blocks the PAT score 36-35. Everyone knows the hands team goes out because of the onside kick. When KP lines up, no one is back deep as a safety, every one in the stands is yelling. KP calls time out, every in the stand breaths a some relief. KP go back on the field, lines up with a safety man back who then sprints to the front line before the kick. During the time out SU coach probably tells his team if they don't cover deep kick it deep, which he did.<br>
Now it is a track meet with 2 KP players and 2 SU players racing for the ball, ball bounces around, SU gets it on the 2 yard line. Fans are in shock as were the players. SU tries to run a play KP Defense make a great stop, clock ticking away, by the time the SU QB takes the snap and spikes it there is 0 time on the clock. the refs reset the clock to 1 second (Bullcrap), SU kicks a Field goal and win.<br>
After watching all the butt kicking they got last year I have never felt as bad for those boys a I did last night. they won the first half, They did not deserved to win the second half but the deserved to win the game. They made plays when they had to, coaches took it away.<br>
One last things this team has some very good athletes and are getting better each week. They will be very very good in the years to come. They just can't get discouraged with this and must move on, again that will be up to the coaches as well.</p>
<p>GO KP!!!</p>
<p>wow, that is bad. Looks like the coaches need to do a few laps themselves for that one.</p>
<p>Let's hope the players can get past this game and that the coaches do a better job next time. That was a high school coaching error, not Division III college.</p>
