Linden air attack had Plainfield on the ropes.  It was obvious that Linden’s game plan was to stop Robert “Action” Jackson (3 consecutive games over 100 yards rushing).  Linden achieved that goal limiting Jackson to 11 yards rushing. 

1)      The offense could not sustain any drives

      2)      Linden exploited the mismatches

3)      Untimely penalties and turnovers.

The bright spot for this game was Rickie Barnett.  The injured Barnett played inspired ball on the defensive side with game high 9 tackles and a game high 4 tackles for loss yardage.  Ricky also recovered a fumble.  His performance earned him the Cardinal Fanatic player of the game.
