 Hello, and welcome to the Ed Hodl Show presented by Buffalo Wildlings. I'm Greg Royce, shown here by Stevenson Football Coach Ed Hodl. And Coach, you played Albright on Saturday for homecoming. Another typical down-to-the-wire game against Albright. Just take us through that game, especially the fourth quarter. Yeah, it's always a battle with Albright. I think you go back the last four or five games with them. It's been a last possession game. And I think we talked about that last week. And we kind of talked to our guys and mentally prepared for it to be that way. And having a 10-point lead late, and then they cut and do a nice job and cut it to three. And defense stepped up big at the end with the interception. So it was big for our program to be able to. We were down in the fourth quarter to come back and then be able to preserve the lead. I think it was big for a young football team to be able to do that. Yeah, kind of a strange game. They obviously started off scoring safety in the second quarter. And then they got a touchdown. You got a field goal. It was 10 to 5 at half, not scoring normally C. And then in the third quarter, it was scoring touchdowns. Both coaching staffs are already going to their card and going for two and things like that. So it's a little bit of a weird game flow. But you guys seem to adapt well to that. Like you said, came back in the fourth quarter. They'll get the win. Yeah, it's interesting. You talk about going to the card. And there were a couple of times I'm on the headset with Coach Nelson upstairs saying, hey, what are we doing here as far as what does the chart tell you to do? Everybody's got a chart. They're all a little bit different. And you can always second guess those kinds of decisions. And we convert the two-point conversion. And then we have the holding penalty on the two-point conversion. Then we have to kick a 25-yard extra point. And thankfully, Ian was sharp there. And we left some points on the board. We had the field goal blocked early in the half. And I think we were in position to get another safety a little bit later on in the game. So it was an odd score at points during the game and definitely having to go to the card. And I think both staffs did a good job of knowing situations and understanding what needed to happen from a points perspective. Yeah. You talked defensively. Also, special teams. I mean, I think Wade Corbin really stepped up with his punt. He had one punt where he pinned them on the one 61-yard punt. He had five yards, average 44-punt. So not just defense, but some special teams work as well. Absolutely. He did an outstanding job. And having a lacrosse player who's now a football player is probably a pretty unique story and what he's been able to do throughout the course of the season and improving his game and understanding what we need from him has been very exciting to watch. And he went out in several big spots and completely flipped the field for us. And we talk all the time with the guys about the importance of field position and putting ourselves in positions where we can score and don't have to drive 80 or 90 yards to do so. And Wade did an outstanding job of setting us up defensively, which took a little bit of the pressure off early in the game while we were working to figure things out Xs and OYs on the offensive side. Defensively, a couple of guys, Ash and Les, obviously the conference defensive player of the week had a force fumble, a couple of sacks, and then Brian Latham with the interception late. Yeah, Ash, he's a rock star. He's a 3-5-plus student here. Just does a great job in everything that he does. And to see him excel on Saturdays is very rewarding because he's the kind of guy that we want to have here. Somebody that takes the classroom seriously, somebody that is just a good, good, good football player. So to watch him excel was exciting, and Brian making the play at the end was huge. You know, he's had a rough couple of weeks, and we kind of challenged him a week or 10 days ago to be a better player, to be the player that we think he can be. And he responded in a big way, which is what you want your guys to do is rise to that type of challenge. Yeah, absolutely. Obviously they're moving the ball a little bit. He's able to come up with the interception. Shifting gears a little bit this week. You're home again against Weiner, another good team, right in the thick of the conference race, along with you guys and a couple other teams, also a very good defensive team. What do you have to bring to the table on Saturday to beat them? We have to protect the football. They have six defensive touchdowns on the year. I believe they're the number one defense in the conference. I think they're in the top five nationally. So we've got to take care of the football. We've got to execute our offensive game plan and be efficient with what we do. No pre-snap penalties. Don't get behind the sticks and do what we do. And if we're able to do that, I think we'll be in the ball game defensively. I think we've got our hands full. They do some pretty interesting things as far as their offensive schemes go, some things that we've not seen yet this year. So we've got to be sound in both phases. And obviously, we want to look at the kicking game to develop some explosive type plays. And I think if we're able to stick with our game plan, I think we should be okay. All right, well, thanks a lot, coach. We'll see you here on Saturday for Ed Hoddle. I'm Greg Royce. This has been the Ed Hoddle Show.
