 Hello and welcome to the Ed Hodl show presented by Buffalo Wildlings. I'm Greg Royce joined with Stevenson head football coach Ed Hodl. Coach, you guys returned home last Saturday. You played a very good Delaware Valley team, pretty good back and forth battle. But at the end they were able to pull away a little bit. Just kind of take us through the game and how it went overall. You know, physical football game is about what we expected it to be. Two good football teams getting after each other for 60 minutes. Things didn't work out the way that we had hoped that they would and the way we prepared for that. But all in all, I'm proud of the effort. The guys played hard for 60 minutes. We're in a one-score ball game against the top team in the conference with six minutes to go in the game. The fight was there, the effort was there. We've got to minimize some of the mistakes that we've made. Learn from those and take that forward for Saturday. Obviously you talk about making a couple of mistakes here and there. You're able to capitalize a couple of mistakes early on. You had a fumble right at the goal line, but Chas Lyles was able to come in, swoop in, fall in the ball. Then on the kickoff, they fumbled it. Special teams came and made a play and recovered the ball in the end zone. So you had two scores back to back. Obviously it's something you work on to take advantage of those situations when those opportunities present themselves. Sure. And kickoff coverage is something that we've worked really, really hard on since week one. You go back to what we put on film in the first game of the year and it wasn't great and Coach Nelson kind of went back to the drawing board and really has experimented with personnel, experimented with scheme and really made that group a strength for us over the last couple of weeks and we expect to see that continue. Then obviously defensively, very defensive battle. The score doesn't necessarily reflect that, but you gave up under 300 yards. Again, one of the top teams in the conference. Just defensively obviously you have to be proud of some of the effort on Saturday. Absolutely. One of the striking things on Sunday when we watched the film was how hard we played on both sides of the ball, but particularly on the defensive side, guys were flying around. We were six, seven, eight, nine guys of the ball in every play and that's what it takes. Having seen that this week, that becomes kind of the standard and we've got to replicate that week in and week out and that's the challenge for us moving forward. Yeah, and you're back home again this Saturday. You host Lebanon Valley. Again, what should be another competitive, as we always say, it's football on the max. It should be another competitive contest. Absolutely. We expect them to come in and they're a very physical football team. Obviously they have a strong commitment to the weight room and over the last couple of years it's been a one-score football game each of the last two seasons and I would expect nothing less on Saturday. They're going to come in and they're going to try to pound the rock and be physical with us and limit possessions and that's something that we've got to be prepared for. Yeah, absolutely. The last couple of years has run the ball a lot and controlled that kind of possession. Absolutely. All right, Coach, we wish you the best of luck on Saturday and we'll chat next week. Great. Thanks very much, Craig. All right, for Ed Hoddle, I'm Greg Royce. This has been the Ed Hoddle Show.
