Say whatever you like but Kinston by far the best football team that Jacksonville has played so far. Good win tonight fellas. Will not be surprised if they make a deep playoff run like they did last year when everyone doubted them.
I went and saw them when they played @ Fike. The offense went right down the field on them twice in the first quarter. QB #2, who torched us all night, left with what looked like a foot or ankle injury. The backup came in threw an interception on his first possession and the offense stalled from there. They did end up scoring 2 more touchdowns, but one was set up by a blocked punt that set them up on the 2 yard line and the other was a broken play. The backup qb ended up throwing 4 picks on the night and never looked comfortable back there.
However, if #2 gets healthy, then they could be a dangerous out in the playoffs. Solid quarterback with a strong arm that can make a play out of nothing. This is also one of the better defenses I've seen at Kinston. The 35 points they gave up at Fike were odd for that Kinston group, but one thing I did notice that were 4 of the touchdown runs Fike had, the o-line high-lowed someone which allowed the hole to open up. It was almost as if Fikes o-line was taught to do. I think its a much different game if the qb doesn't get hurt and those penalties get called on the o-line.
