 Hello and welcome to the Ed Hodl show presented by Buffalo Wildmans I'm Greg Royce showing my Stevenson head football coach Ed Hodl and coach last week You went down to Bridgewater and we're able to come one of the victory just talk a little bit about How the game went for you guys? I was good. You know the guys the guys responded well to the game plan We had a great week of practice Really executed what we wanted to get done On the defensive side of the ball, you know, they created some extra gaps for us and caused some problems We're able to sustain some drives throughout the game something that that you know We've spent a little bit of time working on this week get cleaned up. Yeah, absolutely You know both weeks so far you've won the time in possession battle We were able to build some momentum early offensively scoring your first two drives and on the second drive You had a fake field goal for touchdown, which you know put you up 14-7 because they had scored on their first try How big was that to them and what we're talking about before? Well, really is the first fake field goal for touchdown with programs had sure You know anytime you can answer a touchdown with a touchdown, it's going to be a momentum swing in the game So for us, you know through film study and and you know watching them on film We knew we had an opportunity to take advantage of how they were going to try to block our field goals So, you know, it was really it wasn't a whole lot of decision-making that went to it went into it I told Ty, you know keep your eyes on me You know, I'll make the call if they get give us the alignment that we wanted and they did and Unfortunately, you know, we were able to execute. Yeah, and then I'll defense the side of the ball Paras second half turnovers take a ways one right They had a midfield you know turn out to a touchdown and one right at the end of the game to kind of seal the victory Sure, you know again turning takeaways into touchdowns is huge And that's something that you know over the course of our program history We've been really really aware of and it's part of our culture is to go out and be able to take the football away So and obviously having the offense being able to respond to that with touchdowns is huge Yeah And I know one of the first things you notice when you look at the boxhorn Saturday night, and you only have two penalties On the season, that's only seven pedals in two games. You're one of the least penalized teams in the country What does that mean just have that discipline and not giving away yards, you know with flags? That's something that we've talked about since February being a disciplined football program being you know disciplined in everything that we do and and that's starting to show and You know from a from a coach's perspective, that's very very important You know, we don't want to give away free yards and you look at the penalties that have been called You know two of those have been delays with the new clock rules and that's on us Yeah, and when we own that as coaches and we've got to do a better job of getting our guys transitioned from Offense to defense or teams To offense, whatever the case may be we've got to do a better job of that and I think moving forward as we've learned We're going to work to eliminate those as well. Yeah, absolutely I mean now this week you shift to conference play and obviously Start off with a big one in Albright a team that you've had some battles with over the years You know, I talked to the kids earlier in the week, you know since 2012. It's been a one-score football game every year So and it's always come down to the last possession. So for us, it's a situation where we've got to maintain our discipline We've got to go out and execute our game plan and really focus on being the best football team that we can be over a full 60 minutes Yeah, and obviously, you know, the weather can be a factor again very rainy very windy last Saturday Bridgewater You know could be depending on which way the storm goes could be similar It's raining on them, too. We look at weather as something that we can't control. So for us as a program It's not necessarily a variable that we can affect in any way So again the focus is on the discipline and being the best football team we can be on Saturday Yeah, absolutely. All right coach We wish you the best of luck because you head up to Albright on Saturday and we'll chat next week. Thanks, Greg All right for Ed Hoddle. I'm Greg Royce.
