That 24-7 Madison win is a deceiving score at best. The ONLY TD for SOC came via a referee saying that Willie Hutchins had let the ball touch his foot on a punt return near the end of the first half. Other than that, this game was completely dominated by the 25 guys suited up in the forest green and gold. The defense only gave up two sustained drives by SOC and one ended with a badly missed FG and the other ended in a turnover. Madison's defense is as good as advertised. Those boys had one highlight reel hit after another tonight against a team that they were probhibited underdogs in due to the Hutch kids being there.
Davidson was very shaky in the 1st half at QB, but that's to be expected when you've never play a snap of football in a high school game. He settled down in the 3rd quarter and threw a TD and ran another one in later. If Madison had been playing a more experienced QB, then we could've been looking at a score somewhere in the 40's because his WR corps was blowing past SOC's secondary from start to finish and McNeil had a TD called back as well in the 2nd quarter. The only negative that can come out of this game is LB Corey White getting injured on a cut block. I had to take him home and obviously he was less than thrilled about the win because this could be serious enough that he tore some stuff up in his knee, but hopefully for him he'll be okay and just be out for a week or two. I'd be looking for Madison to get into the AP top 10 this coming week after this thorough domination tonight.
