ND is becoming a familiar foe. Seems they have struggled some this year but looks like they've played a tough schedule. WH better not take them lightly. Here's to a good game and safe travels to the mountains!

I wasn't too concerned after the nonconference because the schedule was tough and we actually seemed to play pretty well despite the losses. After the Oak Grove game something happened and the wheels fell off. We were in every game this year other than NW Guilford and Ledford. Unfortunately our wins all came against weak teams. We just have not come together for four quarters against the better competition. There are flashes for drives, even for a quarter or two how good this team could potentially be. But that's it, flashes... the record will tell you this is one of the worst teams North has had. However the talent says something different. I'm not quite sure what went wrong this year. And now I'm hearing there's dessention in the locker room? I'm not one to put stock in rumors but the play speaks for itself...

North Davidson has had WAY worse teams that this year’s team. There was a team in the mid 90s that was absolutely terrible. But this year’s schedule was pretty lofty. It didn’t help this year. But, I’d argue that last year’s tough schedule really helped.

I'd feel a lot more confident if Chappell was here already. Or maybe we fired our kicking coach and let the middle school guy call the kicking game.

IF Scorestream is to be believed it shows ND up 21-7 over West Henderson, which I find more than a bit surprising.

I thought this might be a possible upset. West didn't look all that good last week. Compared to teams off the mountain.

Compared to teams I've seen off the mountains. West looked good for a mountain team. They'll get smoked when they leave
Most mountain teams never look as good as off mountain teams
And West is a “volleyball” school so we’ll have to wait and see

Looking back, everyone should have probably expected a hangover from West. 2 undefeated teams battling it out for a conference title in week 10 takes an emotional toll. Tonight was a wake up call and ND is much, much better than their record thanks to a tough schedule.

Would have liked to hear what was said in the West locker room at halftime. It might have been interesting.

Me too!!!
Plenty of pleasant instruction Im sure… 😳
Whatever it was I think it worked.
Those two interceptions by the ND defense in the endzone shouldn’t have happened. They could have easily used two more run plays and scored both times.

A few takeaways from last night:
-ND is much better than their record. Plenty of kids, good size, great athletes. How you guys didn't win more games, I have no clue.
-Another jekyll and hyde game for west. Flat in the first half, world beaters in the 2nd. Hopefully they'll start fast from here on out.
-Great defensive adjustments at halftime. To hold that ND offense to no points in the second half is a miracle.
-West spread the ball around more last night than I have seen in a long time. Both rb's ran a lot, 3 different recievers with touchdowns.
