I know since Nate A left as coach of Central they have not had the same environment. Reading about the team a few weeks back, Central was hoping for the 5 win mark but that may be tough to reach. First game is NOT a accurate view of a team but giving up 41 (and should've been more) is a terrible result. Much to work on for what's coming!!!

How did you keep up with the game? Radio or YouTube?

Everything I’d read and watched suggested this game wouldn’t even be close. I’ll admit it, I expected a blowout too, just like last year’s score. After what they showed last night, I think they can find a way to win five games. But if they don’t get their defense figured out, it’ll be tough. Hard to believe you can put up 41 points and still lose.

2Q

 

[AlabamaTimberwolf]

How's the Glenwood offense looking?

Not in sync but with some luck they got a 2Q tip and eventually scored. First game jitters?

 

[AlabamaTimberwolf]

Glenwood is not playing well but Edwardsville got a homer call that I did not see. Another USL penalty! But an interception by the Titans... Karma balanced the bad call! Titans return it for 50 yards to the Tigers 38. A dead ball penalty on the Tigers. First down at the 32.

 

[AlabamaTimberwolf]

6 yard TD by the Titans...

Titans 26
Tigers 16

2:22 left in the 2Q

 

[AlabamaTimberwolf]

Another phantom call for Edwardsville. PF face masking...

2 plays later... 47 yard TD run down the middle of the Titan defense by the Tigers... 2 point conversion on a fake.

Titans 26
Tigers 24

Late in the 2Q

 

[AlabamaTimberwolf]

Titans at the Tiger 49 Time out...

 

[AlabamaTimberwolf]

29 yard pass completion to the Tigers 20 for the Titans... less than a minute left in the 2Q

 

[AlabamaTimberwolf]

Tigers stop the Titans on downs with 6 seconds left in the half!~

Titans 26
Tigers 24

Halftime

 

[AlabamaTimberwolf]

The scoreboard is showing Titans leading 25-24... If thats the case the Titans have missed 3 EPs in the game...

 

[AlabamaTimberwolf]

Tigers fumble the punt with the Titans recovering at the Tiger 40. The next play Titans 40 yard TD run!
Titans go for 2 and get it with a QB keeper. Cheap shot by the Tigers that the official just watched without pulling the flag! WTH!


Titans 33
Tigers 24
Mid 3Q

 

[RoaminCatholic]

QND 50-0
Start 4Q

 

[AlabamaTimberwolf]

The Titan defense looks unsure... Simple plays are not being reacted to very well...

 

[AlabamaTimberwolf]

With no one back on a 4 & 6 the Titans will start on the 2 yard line... Ugh...

 

[AlabamaTimberwolf]

No secret that Im not a fan of the RPO and weak *** zone blocking... But the Titan O line isn't moving anyone.

 

[AlabamaTimberwolf]

QND 50-0
Start 4Q

How is the young QB doing?

 

[RoaminCatholic]

How is the young QB doing?

2 TD passes, 69 and 8 yd varieties. No word yet on yardage. From my eyes at the game texting me updates, sounds like he's exceeded expectations tonight. Also sounds like the 2nd team was in most the 2nd half. A grain of salt is necessary.

Final

 

[AlabamaTimberwolf]

End of the 3Q

Titans 33
Tigers 24

Terribly disappointed in the Glenwood Defense but they will get better!!!

 

[AlabamaTimberwolf]

Titans have a long, time consuming drive and score on a TD run. It seems like the fight has left the Tigers in the 4th quarter.

Titans going for 2 again... Not trusting the XP... no good!

Titans 39
Tigers 24

7:06 4Q

 

[AlabamaTimberwolf]

Tigers stop the Titans after a dropped pass that should've been a Titan TD..

Less than 4 minutes left... Tigers ball

 

[AlabamaTimberwolf]

Tigers at the Glenwood 1 yard line after long TD pass... Not sure how you let a receiver get behind you but... 2 plays later the Tigers use a Linebacker for a 1 yard TD run.

Titans 39
Tigers 31

Close to 3 minutes left

 

[AlabamaTimberwolf]

WOW... The Titan special teams give up an onside kick...

All.... Cycs get pounded in town tonight by CBC. I have only seen one team with a player I deem to have "elite speed." A player from Indianapolis Cathedral when SHG played them in town many years ago. The Cadets had three at RB, QB, and WO. Difficult at best to cover all three with no break outs. Throw in 11 big boys at 260 or better three of them at 300 or better and it's going to likely be a rough night. Cycs offense after about a quarter went one dimensional. They couldn't run against not only the big boys on the line but the big db's that were firing in and stuffing up lanes. Having said that their performance wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Unfortunately one of the main concerns coming into this game was would they get out of it injury free. Nope.... And they were a bit banged up to start the game. On to Mascoutah.... Good night one and all.... Ratsy

 

[jthebro2]

U-High cruises to 1-0 on the year with a 71-22 win over Manual!

Chatham 39 Edwardsville 31
This started out like each team might score in the 40's. The Titans led at halftime 25-24. Chatham's Big 3 of QB Knoedler, RB Mueller, and WR Lehnen were all excellent. Knoedler does everything you'd expect from a 3-year starter, Mueller was bottled up much of the game but still popped a big 40-yard TD at a key time and had some other tough carries when the Titans were trying to run clock, and Lehnen had multiple big catches and both a receiving and rushing TD. The Defense held the Tigers to a single score in the 2nd half and had 2 INT's. Special teams were rocky, missing 2 XP's, a snap issue ruined a 3rd XP, and a long snap out of the end zone cost them a safety. A questionable onside kick recovery gave the Tigers a chance to tie with 2 minutes or so left but a 4th and long pass to the end zone was well defended and just missed connecting with Edwardsville's 6'5" WR.

Tigers ball at the Titan 48!

From my angle, looked like it never went 10 yards before being touched by a Tiger. Chatham bench very unhappy after a ref huddle gave E'Ville the ball.

Coach Hay was not pleased with the officiating multiple times, and there were some weird play stoppages and hesitation to make calls throughout.

Caught 2nd half of MacArthur game last night. I had gone to Warrensburg-Latham with my bro-in-law and it was 3-0 at half... he mentioned the transfer RB that went from Ike to Mac, so we headed into Soy City... 20-0 when we arrived, 11:32 on the clock 3Q... We may have been the curse bc we didnt see a single TD in either game we attended Regardless, the RB looks the part. He's quick, but mostly shifty. His O-line will need to keep working for him, they struggled.

One quick note... Mac's QB #8 (never did get a name) left on a cart with an apparent leg injury in 2nd half. He did not return.

 

[Roamin' Catholic]

I was coached by a Illinois Hall of Fame coach (another dinosaur) ... the QND coach seems like a damn good coach. Im sure he's more... animated...off camera... but I have a lot of respect for what he believes. It would be interesting to watch him at practice!

Jack Cornell is an excellent man, sir. We are very grateful he returned home to coach his alma mater.
Three-year starter at Illinois, Beef bowl champion (Rose Bowl 2008), Super Bowl XLVII Champion, husband and father of 2. He won't likely brag on himself like this, so I'll do it for him!

There's absolutely nothing wrong with bragging about a good man!~ Im glad the Radhas have a good leader as well as a home for football!!!
