1.) Any chance we can get Herb to link us up with his call of that play?  :biggrin:

2.) When I first saw the video, I thought it was impressive. On second take, I didn't think it was nearly as big a hit as it first appeared. And the showboating is a real turnoff.

It will be up on the website, www.southdoylefootball.net in the next couple of days.  My webmaster has been out of town and I should get the CD of the broadcast to him tomorrow for him to get archived.

On the hit, we were working the game from the top of the press box at Hardin Valley. The hit was on the other side of the field from us, yet we heard it like we were ten feet away from it.  It was a big time hit. 

Bruce is really an exceptional athlete, even better than I anticipated he would be.  Before this year I hadn't seen him live since he was a sophomore.  Although he was already a very good prospect then, he has come a long way in those two years.    In my opinion he could play either in the slot or at corner at the next level.  He might just be the "steal" of this recruiting cycle for UT.

Plus he is a terrific kid and already has a qualifying test score and his core is well above what he needs to be a qualifier.

So that's a South Doyle kid.  Kewl! I might just try and go to a game this year, if I am in Ktown.

Hit was obviously great, but what impressed me was the reaction time and closing speed.  Looks like he can be a good one.

He read the play. The WR gave it away. Good hit though. He was recruited to play slot at UT, but seeing that, he may end up at CB

I good, solid, clean hit with the shoulder to the chest.   :thumbdown:  I wish others at higher levels of football would do the same.  Too many times I see high hits that could have very easily been lowered to the chest area.

Not what he told me on the air a few weeks back. 

Of course he read the play.  That's what good football players do.

Yeah, how do you even know what they are recruited for?
