 Hello and welcome to the Ed Hodl show presented by Buffalo Wildlings. I'm Greg Royce joined here by Stevenson football coach Ed Hodl Coach last week he went to Lebanon Valley kind of had some trouble in the first half kind of you know a lot of mistakes a lot of turnovers that ultimately led to a 3124 loss just discussed a little bit about you know the game Pretty simple. You can't turn the ball over seven times Looking at the film it's quite remarkable that in the fourth quarter. We've got an opportunity to either tie the game or win the game on the final possession after turning them all over six times, so You know looking at the film and there's a lot of really really positive things and you know We we didn't play as bad as one might think but obviously You can't undo turnovers So you know we and we knew going into the game that that their game plan would be to take the air out of the football a Little bit you and I talked about it last week And they wanted to limit our possessions and then we end up giving seven possessions away That's very very tough to overcome and I think our guys learned a valuable lesson You know as far as you know what it takes to win in the margin for error And we've gone back and looked at some statistics some statistics as far as Turnovers and when we don't turn the ball over how successful we can be Versus when we when we do turn the ball over so it's been you know It's been it's been an interesting week as far as you know looking back at what we did last weekend for sure Yeah, I know I've taught my head I think at least the last eight or nine games where you haven't turned the ball over you've won so that's you know I'm sure it's probably further back than that. So usually usually I mean We know football a lot of teams who are wins a turnover battle wins the game absolutely You know like you said there were some positives, you know one of the positives Corey Petrick he's still playing strong. You know, he had a fumble recovery for touchdown. You know 12 tackles It's like well what he's met coming back for his fifth year, you know He's he's probably our best football player a guy that understands schemes guy that understands You know his role on Saturdays and you know the leadership that he brings in the maturity that he brings to that side of the Ball is is really really good from a perspective of you you look at our defense on a hole and look at how many Sophomores are running around out there There's a lot of young guys out there and you know his ability to lead and his ability to you know to Execute what we're trying to do defensively is quite remarkable. Yeah, nothing I know we talked a little bit about this on Saturday after the game The fact that your guys didn't hang their heads You know been easy 31 14 the fourth quarter just kind of hang your heads and you know move on the next week But they fought like you said had a chance to tie or win the game on that last possession And we're moving the ball until that last interception What's the same with the character of these guys that there's no quit? Well, that that's just it I mean, you know, we talk all the time in college football You can score in bunches and we certainly have that that that ability to do so and you know, even overcoming a fourth-quarter Interception, you know and still being able to You know kind of rally and I think that that speaks to the mentality of our program and the mentality of our kids and knowing that If we're focused and we're locked in we're capable of doing just about anything we want. Yeah Shifting gears this week. It's homecoming. You're home for the first two straight and you're home for three of the final four games But this week you have Albright a team obviously they're coming off their first loss coming off a bye week Always always a spirited battle when these two teams play. Yeah, it's interesting You know going back and looking at the history of the six games that we've played with them I Want to say five of the six have come down to the last possession of the game Whether somebody needs to stop or somebody needs to score We've we've had an overtime game with them up at their place in year number two So, you know, it's always a very very slim margin of victory for either side and and it's it's usually a really really good football game Yeah, and obviously sold out crowd on Saturday Hoping that they give you a lift and you know provide us one of the best atmospheres, you know in the league Absolutely, you know homecoming is special Not only because you get to see you know all the guys come back and not that we have a ton of a ton of alums at this point But we're getting there and to see those guys and where they are in their careers and the successes that they're having off the field is It's really special Obviously the crowd, you know being a sold-out crowd is something that I know our guys look forward to playing in front of and you know We want them to be loud and we want them, you know to be a factor in the game on Saturday All right. Well, thanks coach. Best of luck on Saturday.
