I've never seen Van Alstyne before and don't know a great deal about them, but this game was never as close as the score would indicate. The score of this game should've been somewhere along the lines of 42 or 49 to 14 if not for what continues to happen on the offensive side of the ball. Van Alstyne scored on the final play of the game and the other TD came on what was just one heck of a catch on a 4th down TD pass.
Madison's defense forced 8 turnovers and 5 or 6 of those TO's were INT's. I feel they performed extremely well defensively considering they were on the field for at least 33 of the 48 minutes of tonight's game. The Madison OC's play-calling was just flat out horrible again for most of the night. I say this in all seriousness, but I honestly believe he gets some of the plays that he calls off of Madden. That play-calling on the offensive side of the ball is going to be what eventually knocks the Trojans out of the playoffs and that'll be a shame in my opinion because that defense plays hard week after week and they almost have to win the game single-handedly each week. You shouldn't have just 21 points when you force 8 TO's, but this has become somewhat of a continuing theme this season. I believe the Trojans have Mount Vernon next. I hope that they'll be able to pull out another win and possibly get a shot at Gilmer!!!!
