Our big focus coming into this game was that we had to come out and play 48 minutes of football on both sides of the ball, and I think our kids did that tonight.
EJ is a big part of what we're doing, but so is having all the other aspects of the offense in place so teams can't just key of him. We've been working real hard to install a new offense and the kids have embraced that and made a nice improvement.
They went out last week and beat East St. Louis without two of their best players, that's should tell you what kind of team they are.
They have three running backs that could start anywhere in our conference. I mean, they have a fullback that they run a corner route with. You don't normally see that until you get to the college level.
He's getting more and more comfortable with the system. That's pretty obvious with what he's done. We have a system that you can plug a lot of things into, and he's fit in that system very well.
What we've done now is taken that to the next step. It's still built on that same application, but now it can go totally wireless and connect into the Internet.
He made some great strides from the first week. He had a solid game.
Communication needs to improve on the field. I would also like to see improvement on our possession. We are okay, but we can get better.
Our offense responded at some key times in the game. Our offense answered three or four times at key times and I think that was a big difference.
The line has had spurts this season, but last week they played a complete game, and that's what I'm pleased with. They played for 48 minutes and physically, I felt we were in control of the game up front.
