We come out with our trick play of the week, the Connor 24 Power, which is just an odd looking play. It's 24 Power, but with Connor in a double arm interval gap between Layne and Ray. I can see the confusion in the coach's eyes. He starts counting. We snap the ball, gain 8, only to have David called for holding.
That's Penalty #4, if you're scoring. It gets worse. Penalty 5 comes right after on Ashanti not being set. We lose 2 on a sweep, get a busted play on the counter for a lovely loss of 10, and then lose 5 on a sweep the other way. Again, if you're counting, that's a 4th and 42, with the first down marker being on the 20 yard line. We punt, but Hunter for whatever reason lines up 10 yards deep and let's the ball get away from him. It rolls to the right, which is a huge problem since we're kicking to our sideline on the left. His punt goes to the middle, about 10 yards downfield. David stops it for no return.
Ray intercepts the ball when they repeat the play they ran on 4th down. It's a deadball where he intercepts it, our 40.
Penalty #6 on Nick T, a false start. Bryce loses 4 on a sweep, Connor fumbles the ball away on the wedge. They take over on our 30.
