I don't know about you, but I would say that the turnover (field position) killed the game for the kohawks!
Offensive inefficiency killed the Kohawks, along with:
Field position
The start of the 3rd qtr (on defense)
Tournovers
Special Teams (not only the blocked punt, but kick off coverage) - how many times did Central start a drive on the Coe side of the field?
Execution - again, on the offense
Coaching miscues - come on, dont kick a field goal when you need waaayyy more then 3
I mentioned that before. As a Dutch fan I was happy to see a FG kicked then. I didn't think they would be able to get three more scores to tie let alone win. It seems like they were more worried about laying an egg on the scoreboard than with winning. Just my two cents. I felt at that point if they had scored a TD they had enough time to score two more TD's to win but not enough time for three scores.
Exactly! Coe seems to be happy with a FG instead of having the guts to "go for it". Can you say "conservative". They even tried a field goal at the end of the first half with a first down and 10 seconds left. They had time for at least one more play that would have gotten them closer. I have been at the last two home games for Coe. Being a Wartburg Alum but living in CR it is easy to see why the "lady kohawks" are 2-5:
• Their old coach is at Wabash 6-0, ranked 4th or 6th depending on what poll you look at
• No fire in warm-ups or during any part of the game - talk about a lack of senior leadership
• Predictable offensive play calling
• Soft Offensive line - they do have a great running back in #3
• No QB
• A secondary that can't cover anyone
Nice new field turf but otherwise shabby facilities that don't impress recruits (it appeared they did have some recruits on campus, but with those performances the last two Saturdays, I am sure they went home saying, "I'd rather go to Wartburg"
What they do have is two of the best defensive ends in the IIAC and three hard hitting linebackers. If those five guys are not first team all conference, and then something is wrong. I see they have the # 1 defense in total yards with that offense that keeps them on the field all day long. Oh well, at least they get to play a lot. With the loss of #53 though they are in trouble up the middle, have fun Luther.
Hopefully for Warburg, Central and the rest of the IIAC, the Coe powers that be will do continue to not support the football program and keep putting more emphasis on soccer, swing choir and the drama department. See you in the playoffs!
