Milton plays Archer Friday night at 8:30 on tv in the Corky Kell Classic. It's a chance to see one of our commits play.

Will be on WATL 36 and the 11 alive app.

Bump. Game's on now.

Jordan Yates with a nice 14 yd TD pass on the last play of the first half.

 

[smokey_wasp]

Had a couple of good runs and the one TD pass in the first half. Otherwise, slow going. Archer's defense has been all over him.

 

[smokey_wasp]

43 yard TD run by Yates and an endzone dive. Swagger

 

[RaiderJacket]

Looked like he was getting in a rhythm late in the half. He keeps plays alive. Nice throw for the TD to end the half.

Player of the game.
7/14, 72 yds., TD
20 carries, 92 yds, 2 TD
Zero turnovers
Not a bad night.

Yates looked better than his stat line to me. Archer seemed better top to bottom but he found a way to make it happen. Ran the option smoothly (from shotgun), not shy about contact, fast. Couple of really good throws on the run. Also had a couple of unnecessary back foot throws. Lots of potential, IMO.

I hate the shotgun option on short yardage plays. Milton blew a 4th and short and a 4th and goal by not getting their QB under center.

Yes lots of upside to Yates with the potential to be really good at GT. I don't like the short yardage option from the gun either. The only time it worked was when he faked the handoff and bounced outside the defensive ends pinching down.

Great athlete obviously but footwork when throwing the ball needs a lot of work.

I’ve seen a bunch of teams, HS and College, that couldn’t close out a game because of this. “Offense not built for short yardage”!

I've seen him play plenty of times and he generally has good footwork and a nice arm. Archer has a lot of D1 talent on defense, especially in the secondary and on the defensive line. He had a lot of pressure in his face all game and receivers that weren't open.

Last year Archer only gave us 20 points twice and had 4 shutouts despite playing a very tough schedule and making it to the state quarterfinals in 7A.
