 Hello and welcome to the Ed Hodl show presented by Buffalo Wildlings. I'm Greg Royce shown by Stevenson football coach Ed Hodl coach after your bi-week last week You went up to like homing and picked up another road win I kind of got a little dicey there in the final few minutes, but overall you Seemed like you played pretty well up there and just take us through the game. I think we played a solid football game You know, we were able to do some things offensively that were we're pretty exciting Generated, you know turnover on special teams You know, I think defensively that they had a pretty good scheme for us and Took us a while to get it adjusted and it was something that you know continued to evolve to the closing minutes of the game and You know fortunately for us, we were you know able to make enough place to pull it out Yeah, yeah What a big place that when this kind of watch the time it's kind of like okay it's kind of like a nice insurance touchdown, but fourth the goal of the 28 and Guy the end zone for like homing tips to pass and Ryan Sting was able to come down with it Obviously proved to be the difference in the game obviously a huge play especially, you know, facing such a long field. Absolutely. It was You know, I was asked post-game, you know, well how how much does luck come into play? Well Lucky in one sense, but we work that all the time in practice You know the tip ball drill So, you know here and Ryan being disciplined enough to stay in the play and be able to complete the play So, you know a little bit of luck, maybe a little bit of preparation as well You know, it's certainly fun fun to see those kind of plays, you know following your favorite Yeah, and again just talking about the offense in the opacity now, you know Ty Crabbe had a good day, you know three touchdown passes ran for another one in as a conference offensive play the week It's fun to just be able to watch him to continue to mature and develop Well, it is and and he's taken that responsibility You know with you know with a great deal of Tenacity, but I think before you talk about Ty's performance the running backs performance I think you got to look at what the offensive lines have been able to do, you know really Coming into their own really starting to dominate the line of scrimmage You look at the rushing yards on Saturday, you know, you add back in The lost yardage on sacks and you add back in a negative 28 yard run to take the safety at the end of the game And you know, we're up near that 250 mark, you know on the ground against It gets pretty good defense So I think before you look at those guys you've got to really look at the five guys up front and the jobs that they're currently doing And I think too, I think you got to look at, you know what what coach beard has done You know developmentally with the offensive line coach Larson developmentally, you know and coach and tie up and you know It's it's really an all in It's on us, you know, it's not on the players on the coaches. It's again. It's that team You know that team environment that we've got this year that's really exciting to watch Yeah, certainly you look at any good football team obviously it always starts on both lines offensive defensive line That's where a lot of football games are won With the win you wrap up, you know, you're gonna be playing after this week You know, obviously there's a lot of scenarios of something to play out But you're home this week against after you floor them a final regular season game Just talk about what you need to do to kind of keep the momentum that you have going and going to post season Hideout for us. It's you know, it's playing the best football game of the year, you know It's week 11. It's our 10th ball game, you know The responsibility falls on us as coaches and the guys as players to to go out and be the best football team that we can be And and you know really look to peak on Saturday You look at FDU, you know, they're six and three. It's one of the best season They've had 20 some years and they're playing for a lot as well, you know, they've got an opportunity at some post season Some postseason games and an opportunity to you know, kind of change history a little bit and change the trajectory of their program So, you know, I would anticipate them coming in fired up ready to go I would anticipate it, you know a good hard-fought football game Yeah, and then obviously senior day on Saturday I'm just talking about what this senior class has kind of meant to the program in terms of you know Leadership and stability just overall what they've met. Well, you look at this this particular group and It's a group that's really taken ownership of of the program. It's you know, they're all strong leaders They're all vocal leaders. They're all really good guys in the classroom and just good people And I think for us, you know, having an opportunity to put them in the postseason for the fourth straight year Is an awesome opportunity for them and Just a really really solid group of guys and I think you look at you know, you look at the size of the class We're gonna, you know, we're gonna celebrate 23 guys on Saturday afternoon And you know, that's a that's a pretty good number for division three football to have 23 seniors and I Think our performance this year is a direct reflection of the work that they did in the offseason It's a direct reflection of their character and their leadership and the kind of the imprint that they wanted to leave on the program So, you know, it'll be a bittersweet day Fortunately for us, you know, we do have an opportunity to play again next week and You know, we'll enjoy the time with those guys because it's never it's never quite the same when you don't see them every day Right, you know, I won't be looking forward to the start of spring ball because many of those faces won't won't be there And you know, that's always a bit of a that's when the shock really happens You know when you go out there and you don't see Brandon Flaherty and you go out there And you don't see Ash and Lesky and Peyton LePair and you know those guys and you know that they're not gonna They're not gonna come running out of the locker room two minutes late So, you know, that's what it really hits me is kind of when we hit the next cycle in the spring time But you know, they mean I they mean a great deal And I think their legacy of what they're leaving behind is going to be remembered as a significant one Yeah, certainly certainly like you said a very special class and look forward to honor them on Saturday All right coach best luck this Saturday and we'll chat next week.
