Montgomery – 7
Plainfield – 6
The Cardinals offense started off fast by scoring on their
first possession but could not find any consistency for the remainder of the
game. Untimely penalties continue to
plague the Cardinals. The Cardinals
defense played well giving up their only score in the final quarter on a half
back option pass. Ryan Boyle of
Montgomery rushed for 100+ yards against the Cardinal defense. This is respectable considering Boyle rushed
for 250+ yards against a very good Union team.
Here are some of the Cardinal Fanatic sideline quarterback
observations
1)
Big improvement on turnovers from the previous game.
2)
Untimely momentum defeating penalties of 10+ yards
3)
Offense lacking consistency, which the penalties may pull the
Cardinals out of what, they do best.
The positive outlook of this game was the defense played
well and the running game did a respectable job. Penalties pushed the Cardinals into situations where they were
looking at 2nd or 3rd and 10+ yards for a first
down. Defenses know that 95% of the
time the next play will be a pass. Thus
making the Cardinals offense very predictable for their opponents.
The penalties must be reduced and the timing of these
penalties at critical moments must stop.
With the Spartans of Immaculata next up, and a loss eliminating the
Cards from the playoffs, every Cardinal must be on deck with full focus and
mental concentration.
Rickie Barnett continues to play effectively. His fumble on a 120% effort to gain yards on
a punt return was redeemed on the defensive side of the ball. Barnett picked up his intensity, along with
Sparrow and Jno-Lewis, to stop Montgomery from taking advantage of the
turnover. Rickie’s defensive and
special teams effort earned the Cardinal Fanatic player of the game.
