Triway looked really good in the first 15 plays (10 & 5). They only scored once but moved the ball really well. They also stuffed Dalton's inside run game pretty well. Dalton's offense was lethargic and couldn't pass (QB had terrible accuracy). Their defensive line was average. The secondary didn't have much cover pressure, but they kept us away from the big play (except for a 22yd TD pass).
When the 2 game-like quarters started, though, just like in the Fairless scrimmage, Dalton started to get excited. Their D-line created pressure, and their kids started hitting. They also hit a few passes, while there were still some passes that were way off. The 2 quarters ended 0-0, but both teams had big plays called back by a penalty (Dalton's big play would have been a TD pass).
I know Dalton's been missing some players, but were expecting to have a few back for last night? I know Triway was missing 2 two-way starters who dressed but did not play (2 of our 4 2+ year letter-winners). In addition, we showed basically nothing the whole night - base defenses and the same plays on offense, just swapping sides. West Holmes gets last night's game tape, so..
Triway will definitely need to shore up their D-line if they want to have a chance against West Holmes. We also did not do a very good job moving the sticks in the game-like situations. Both teams had to punt a few times.
