drop by N Jones
7 yarder to Jazz King
30 yards to King on 3rd
1st from 40

inc, +5, bad pass on 3rd and 5

Dodd misses open man again on 4th

QB is not very sharp right now

Byrnes gets a stop on 3rd and 17, though they still gave up 11

About to get the ball back trailing 21-7 with 4 min to go

ML hit in backfield
2nd N Jones runs for 30

1st STA recovers and makes great play to save TD on play action
2nd Dodd throws on the run and misses WR
3rd DL free up the middle, Dodd dumps for 5
Short 26 yard punt with 2 min in half

Lattimore has 8 for 38, TD and the fumble on his catch

now 21-14, 6:30 to go in the 3rd

Byrnes has the ball, Jazz King broke off a route and almost led to STA pick

Lattimore gets about a 15-20 yard run, but fumbles again.

STA returns to around the Byrns 25

30 yard pass to LM on 1st

35 yards to J King down to 12

toss sweep to Lattimore on 3rd and 5 from the 6, and he bobbles it, recovered by STA

19 yard ML run
5 yd offsides

Some people think you shouldn’t kick to the other team’s best athlete.

KO return for a TD.

18 yards to King on first down

cancels a 24 yard gain after Dodd makes big throw on the run.

Now 2nd and 20 from the Byrnes side of 50

They go deep on 1st, and it’s almost picked off
2nd and 10

Nicely set up screen on 3rd and 6, and it was slightly underthrown.

Would have been a HUGE play, but forces a punt back to Byrnes with about 7 min to go

after a PI. Officials TO

but the play would have been cancelled by a hold

3rd and 26 and Dodd is sacked at the 10.

Punt upcoming on 4th and a mile, but helped somewhat when STA commits another personal foul to give 15 back. Punting still

4:45 to go.

STA takes over at their own 34

16 yards to the 19. Byrnes should just let them score with 2:20 to go. They have a kicker that’s committed to TN, so they already are in range of a 2 score game

best public school in the nation. STA has a fresh backup RB with a many high D-I offers, and his fresh legs are running out the clock.

It would end up on Doc’s Life on the Margins.

Some will say Byrnes fumbled away a victory, but STA just had more athletes. Byrnes made more small plays, but they couldn’t come up with the 3rd down stops.

Jazz King gets his 2nd TD on a 24 yarder.

Final score 42-34 STA.
