I guess? I literally said great job Carthage...all I pointed out was Kilgore made a ton of mistakes and Carthage did exactly what a good team should do..."capitalize"...I never once said that's the only reason yall won..... but I do believe the game was a few plays away from being a closer score then you think...yes Carthage defense did a fantastic job against Kilgore...but in the end penalties, interceptions (50/50 or not) all contributed to Kilgore defense being on the field too much...also being 1st game..hot...and playing a team like Carthage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were 50/50 balls and the DB’s had excellent coverage and made the plays. The onside kick was a result of the 15 yard unsportsmanlike from the XP in Kilgore. Self- inflicted. And Kilgore only had 70 yards in penalties. Kilgore had no answer on D for the Carthage O. It was a dominant win period. All I was saying is the game easily could have gone into half 14-0...potentially 14-7 with Kilgore receiving ball at half...it collapsed on Kilgore in a matter of 3-4 min which led to 28-0 halftime lead...but yes, Carthage took advantage of what opportunities Kilgore gave them...like a good team should 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tons of football yet to be played. I saw some encouraging signs on both sides of the ball for Carthage tonight. Hopefully our running game continues to improve, but for the most part I was pleased with the rushing attack. I was definitely happy with our QB play.

HJR7 Posted August 27, 2022 Author Share Posted August 27, 2022 Carthage didn't really do anything special (and thats not knocking the offense at all) It was a Keep it simple stupid method. And, it work to perfection against Kilgore. Kilgore CBs were playing off the ball and Carthage just short pass and YAC. Good job Carthage. Kilgore will be fine, and prepare for Gilmer.

Defense was MUCH better than expected. Scary thing is they are only going to get better. Supposed to have another defensive lineman in the next week or so that might start or at least be a rotation guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotton84 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 With the defensive formation that Kilgore stayed in, Carthage could have had 400 yards passing to the slot receiver, if Little Belichick has chosen to do so……..the slot flare towards the sideline was simple “throw and catch” for 7+ yards every play they wanted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuff and the Passing game were 1000% better than last year. Run game much improved! Defense surprised the heck out of me. I won’t be comfortable until I see Carthage do it a few more weeks, but we shall see! I tried to tell some of y’all on here that the transfer from Atlanta was good - lots of family history of real good athletes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defense was MUCH better than expected. Scary thing is they are only going to get better. I knew Carthage was going to have to field a lot of new faces on defense, but I had no idea three of the starters would be sophomores. And both new starters on the O-line are also sophomores. Yes, they’re only going to get better. The conventional thought is that a team shows its most improvement from the season opener until the second game. If that’s true for this year’s Carthage team…poor Pittsburg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really wasn’t close. Nac shouldn’t even have been on the same field as Palestine last night. Palestine dominated, just let them hang around after half..
