Hawks Defeated by Blazers

VALDOSTA, Ga. – The Valdosta State Blazers played a complete game and where able to take down the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Shorter Head Football Coach, Zach Morrison stated, "There were so many opportunities that were missed, we had the QB pinned down 7 times for a potential sack and we just weren't able to keep contain and they found a way to get a first down; of the 7 potential sacks 5 were on 3rd and medium to long and 4 were drives that ended up in a score. We fix that and we get 28 points off the scoreboard for VSU. We do that and we are right there in the game. Don't get me wrong there positives to promote on all sides of the games, but there were also some major issues that need to be addressed going into the rest of the season." The Hawks finished the day with just under 375 yards of total offense with 190 yards on the ground. The Hawks offense was able to find the endzone twice, but Coach Morrison stated, "we left points on the field with a couple of missed assignments, misreads, or execution errors." Defensively the Hawks knew they would be up to a challenge with playing one of the top offenses in the GSC.
