 Hello, and welcome to the Ed Hodl show presented by Buffalo Wildlands. I'm Greg Royce, showed by Stevenson Football Coach Ed Hodl. Coach, you were back on the road last week. You go up to Lebanon Valley, had a tight game for a while, second half you were pulled away and come away with your fifth straight victory. It was nice, you know, it was physical football game. We expected that going in and our guys did a nice job responding. I think we were able to execute the game plan and it became more and more evident as we went through the course of the game. Guys responding well to adjustments, you know, really a good overall effort getting the two block punts, getting some explosive plays on teams, you know, holding, you know, a pretty formidable running game, you know, to run about 100 yards was certainly significant for us. And then obviously we were able to move the ball offensively, it was good to see. Yeah, I guess it was the same part that when you have successes, the balance that you have both defensively and offensively, you're not relying like, oh, we've got to have the defensively minimum or we've got to have the offensive score 50 points in order to win. Like there's that nice balance, I think. Like you said, with Special Team Suit coming in this week, we can make it a couple of big plays as well. It's nice and I think that's really kind of who we are as a program now, which is really, really good. It's not, you know, you look at our running back situation, you look at the receiving core, you look at the distribution of tackles on the defensive side. And, you know, it really is a team effort. And I think that's been a big emphasis of ours throughout the course of the year. And it's nice to see it kind of playing out, you know, even on the stat sheet. And it's leading to wins, which is obviously the most important statistic. Absolutely. On the offensive side, Chas Liles last couple of weeks, he's had a couple of big games offensively, you know, many of those big three seniors. But Chas, the last couple of weeks, you know, with the yardage and some of the big plays that him and Ryan have been able to hook up with. Yeah, it's no surprise with Chas. I mean, his work ethic is something that is unparalleled. You know, he comes out to practice and, you know, he's 100 miles an hour from the first rep to the last rep. And, you know, very methodical, very cerebral, understands what we're trying to do. Couple that with his effort and his willingness to give 110% on every play is quite extraordinary. Yeah, absolutely. And like you said, it's not like teams can necessarily just key on him, because if they do, you've got a couple other guys that can hurt you and as well as your running game. Yeah, I'm excited that we don't have to defend our offense, I can tell you that. No, we like being multiple. It's something that I know that we emphasize. And, you know, having, you know, three running backs, I think we've had three guys go over 100 yards at various points throughout the season. And, you know, in the receiving core, you know, that group of seniors, they've all had a big day here, a big day there. And so the distribution of the football is something that we think, you know, helps us be successful. Yeah, absolutely. That's 15 years of this week. And we talked a little bit last week, played meaningful football games in November. And certainly this is a meaningful football game in November. You head up to Wilkes. Time for second in the conference right now. And obviously a big game in terms of, you know, ball position. Sure, they're all big this time of year. You know, for us, it's, again, it's the focus on being the best football team that we can be. You know, I'm excited to get back on the road again. You know, for us, it's, you know, I think our guys are pretty comfortable traveling. So, you know, whether we're here, whether we're there, it really doesn't matter. We've got to go out and put our best football on film and, you know, hopefully be able to be successful. Yeah, absolutely. All right, coach, you're the best of luck on the road this week and I will chat next week. Thanks, Craig. All right, for Ed Hoddle, I'm Greg Royce. This has been the Ed Hoddle Show.
