Football Falls to 3-7 with 28-14 Loss at yoUDee
Posted by TTHS on November 12th, 2006
I’m giving quick recaps, spent the weekend at the game in Blacksburg.
The Tribe fought until the end, but Mike Potts’ 3 picks did them in blowing it in the 4th quarter.
Going into the final 15 it was 14-7, but a pass from Pitt transfer Joe Flacco to Duke transfer Ben Patrick made it 21-7. The Tribe didn’t stop fighting, though, and Potts threw a TD pass to fullback Matt Otey, keeping the Tribe in the game with about 7 minutes left.
But then Joe Flacco ran it in from 3 yards away with only 3 minutes left, putting the game in the bag.
The defensive standouts were Chris Ndubueze, David Caldwell, and Derek Cox. Caldwell and Cox both got INT’s, and Ndo got the Tribe’s only sack.
The standouts on the other side of the ball were Matt Otey, coming back from an injury and getting a TD, Joe Nicholas, 5 catches, 50 yards, and a TD, and RJ Archer, who caught 5 passes for 80.
The Tribe finishes it’s season at home next week vs. Richmond. Come support the Tribe on senior day.
