...to the farm extension. They took full advantage of the Hornet turnovers and won Coach Biggs' last game. There were plenty of mistakes to go around for the Hornets, but those mistakes were predominately on special teams. We looked to finally overcome those and we had the great idea of calling a WR reverse pass when our regular shit was unstoppable. IMO all the blame goes on the Hornet coaches in this one, and the farm extension played a well disciplined and virtual mistake free game and it was the difference.

Congrats to Coach Biggs. He went out on a high note and I hope he enjoys his retirement. :thumb:

I'm not so sure that ALL the blame lies on the staff, but 75% certainly. Some blame must be left for the Swiss cheese defense we played in the fourth quarter and execution on the part of that receiver (did nobody bother to tell him that if the quarterback is double covered, you tuck the ball and run for the first down?!?) and Safron himself for putting the ball directly in the mike backer's chest with a minute left. Of course, MORE blame goes to Sperbeck for calling off his mike 'backer's time out at 1:20 left, THEN all of a sudden deciding to start calling time outs at :24. If it hadn't been for that unfortunate play call, though, I think we'd be giving the game ball to Markell Williams, whose pick right before SHOULD have sealed the deal.

Overall, though, Bob Biggs is nothing but class. For him, it's fitting that he goes out a winner, though I'm sure that he'd rather have it under circumstances when his offense and defense truly won the game. Of course, this game is Exhibit A in the case for special teams being a full 1/3 of the game.
