mess with a good def.plan but the coach did
and implemented the 3-4.So far, they are being
dominated.Also, with no running game we have no
chance in controlling the game.Coming up is
Chuckie Keaton and the Spartans would be chasing
him all over the field.This game is pivotal
in determing if we're contenders or pretenders.
