 Sid Zweigbaum down on the field post game with Stevenson Mustangs head coach Ed Hoddle the Mustangs defeat Lebanon Valley 24 to 13 today coach Obviously, you know the first couple of years of this program these guys had your number How good does it feel to kind of reverse things you've beaten them three in a row now? Yeah, you know anyone in our league is a big win for us. You know our guys did a great job today You know, I think we only ran 58 offensive play So, you know, we kind of had a you know a feeling they were gonna try to shorten the game You know limit possessions and they did a great job You know, but you know at the end, you know, we put enough points on the board to get the W Your offense was very efficient in the first half you mentioned I think you only had three possessions in the first half and and one one was a kneel down So, you know when your offense isn't getting the ball a lot, you know How important is it for them to convert on third downs? There's a lot of a lot of third and threes a lot of third and twos and you guys were going to the air on those Place yeah, and it was tough because it was always at the 30 You know, you're kind of right at the fringe of pawn right at the fringe of kick the field goal So, you know, you got to be efficient and you've got to be able to get hard yards when you need them And and we did at times today. I think that's something that we've got to look at, you know When we need to get a hard two yards or hard three yards, we've got to be an executed I think a little bit more consistently and our guys will be fine You know, we've gotten much better on third downs this year as compared to last which is one of our big goals for the season So, you know, I think we're getting better On the offensive side every week and of course defensively You know, we held them, you know, just under 50 percent So we'd like to be a little bit better there, too You know, they did some things in the run game to us that we hadn't seen on film and to their credit They did a nice job scheming us up Brandon Irving a guy who's had over 300 yards and three games against you were you focused on taking him out of the game? Or is that just kind of the place he was in there? You guys just did a good job again because they used a lot of guys in the backfield Yeah, you know, they kept fresh legs back there all day, you know And and and he definitely is not you know, wasn't somebody that we talked a great deal about for us It's more about you know attacking the scheme as it is to attacking particular players Daniel Williams a quarterback 23 to 2,892 yards and two touchdowns Obviously, he played more as a freshman than as a sophomore His completion percentage was was not nearly what it was today. How important is it for you guys? You know, he's coming into today was 65 percent obviously improved upon that How important is that for the offense? That's huge You know to be able to you know throw the ball and know that you're gonna, you know be over 75 76% completion You feel pretty good about lining up and throwing it So he's continued to grow and continue to work at his craft and you know, I still think the ceiling is very very high for him I don't think we've seen the best of him yet We kind of jinxed him on the area was 13 to 13. He comes out and throws an incomplete pass Another jinx we avoided is 35 straight games with turnover Did you ever start to think about it in midway through the third quarter? You know, you guys hadn't had a turnover on defense yet No, I mean they do a good job ball security on their side of the ball And we knew that they were gonna limit the number of times they put the ball in the air So and that's something I gave a lot of thought to but we we definitely knew he was 13 to 13 So thanks because we didn't talk about it at halftime 13 is an unlucky number Even though he wears number 13 a coach next week after you floor him obviously they're coming here It's a long trip for them. What do you know about them and what do you guys have to do to get ready for them? You know, it's another game in the Mac You know, we've got to look at what we can do to improve You know and be more efficient in all three phases of the game So for us again, it's it's gonna be you know looking at what we can do to get better All right, coach We've won 14 of your last 15 September games 11 in a row and seven in a row at home You know quite a difference, you know a few years makes I thought we weren't talking about that stuff. All right Well, good luck next week coach. We'll see you then that was Mustangs head coach Ed Hoddle Stevenson Defeats Lebanon Valley 24 to 13. We'll see you next Saturday
