D4 2017 State Championship: Clinton-Massie vs. Steubenville

[Steely Dan]

Big Red 14-7 with less than five minutes left in the first and driving again. So far, Steubenville has been able to do what they want on offense, and their defense has shut down the CM run game. CM scored on a pass play.

Big Red just scored again, 26 yd td pass. Now 20-7, PAT was blocked.

They are trying to hang!!

TD Massie 50-35 with 7:52 left. Steubenville is just a load. Can see why they’ve been #1 throughout. #2 Richardson for Massie is having a game as well!

[BallDontLie]

50-36 my bad ^^

[BallDontLie]

Massie gets a stop and they have the ball on their own 33 with 6:12 left...about hooked up on a end around hook pass that if it connected would’ve been a TD.

[BallDontLie]

Massie fails a 4th down conversion and its Steubenville ball with 5:57 left. Massie would need a miracle.

[LucasDavenport]

BallDontLie: Did Steubenville Onside Kick at 43-29?

I don’t see a drive for CM on the drive summary online.

[LucasDavenport]

Paladin might finally break through.....,

Push his record to 1-5 if Steubenville holds.

[LucasDavenport]

Final.

Steubenville 50
Clinton Massie 36

I think that Massie would have had a chance to win this game if they used the same strategy Hartley had in the 2015 game against Steubenville: Play a clean game (no turnovers), grind down the clock, dominate time-of-possession. Limit Steubenville's possessions. Instead, they let it turn into a track meet/shootout where Steubenville got a bunch of possessions.

Finally watched this one. Massie could not tackle to save their live. How they never picked up QB roll and then throw to the side he rolled to, still has me shaking my head.
