Was anyone else NOT as surprised by this as me? I know Ridley had momentum, but the first year in the tenure of the coach who everybody knew was getting the job, and the OC who is friends with the Principal lose to a team that hasn't beat Ridley in almost a quarter century? And basically get shut down in the process?
I have long said on here that Wood was the correct hire. I still believe that. But I have also long said that running this offense, which has little to no forward passes wouldn't work at Ridley when it mattered, from a practical standpoint and an alumni standpoint.
Kudos to Springfield (their DC was a finalist for the Ridley job if I remember correctly, I forget his name). They played well. Ridleys only scores came on broken plays. Maybe in the off season we can lure Ruffenach (UD OC, also a finalist) away from UD. I know there are struggling but they sure can score points.
I know its just one game. But I can't see this offense working here for a deep playoff run.
