Defense wins championships. The FH first team defense has not been scored upon through Week 6. All scores put up after they come out. Amazing stat.
The FH defense has yet to be scored on

Proof in point. Another schedule bash attempt on yet another thread that mentions nothing about schedules. "FH supporters" are not the ones starting the schedule yap most of the time. Is that all you will do from here on out cry about the FH schedule on every thread?
It's hilarious! No crying in Cumberland.... (It ain't like the old days when you ran out of beer on a Sunday morning.)
I mean, braggin' up the FH defense when you sucked up a forfeit and virtually shut out the little-sisters-of-the-poor league.
You're the #1 beneficiary of the system - learn how to take a well deserved hit. Hell, FH has taken more hits in this forum than on the field!
Is that all you will do from here on out cry about the FH schedule on every thread? Try beating them for once.

They should have given up points and they did. Look at their offense and you’ll understand why.
But the defense made the plays or got the stops when they had to.

PRESS RELEASE< City of Cumberland engineers have found that the waste pouring Wills Creek is coming from Sedgwick St. They believe it is the football team shitting their pants.
I am.. But im much satisfied.. I'll take two L's a year against quality opponents and a state title... Epic.. Or not... Well the hell go for it
How did you get from the defense not being scored on to defense doesn’t win championships?
The first post in the whole thread. But what you're saying is that no one can tell me what happened to the defense.
It doesn't explain anything. If you don't know what happened, don't reply. If you do, please tell me.
The defense came up against a high powered passing offense, historically problematic for Fort Hill. They gave up a lot of points, but made some big stops in a crucial 4th quarter.
The offense was working fine, it was up to the FH defense to keep the offense in position to win. And they did a great job.
So if you're asking what "happened" to the defense, there's your answer. They were instrumental in that win.

No, they weren't. No defense that ever gave up 40+ points was instrumental in a win. That's just common sense.
You not watching the game would have made your posts make more sense.
Are you not saying FH defense made the stops when they had to?
Game ball to the offense that pulled out a victory on the last drive. Nothing could be more simple and obvious. The only thing that really slowed down MCC is that a passing offense will be far from perfect - even with their talent.
Oh, a defense didn't stop anybody when they had to if an offense has to drive down the field to win the game with seconds left.

Are you guys serious? It’s just not possible for FH to overcome a 2 TD deficit if the defense didn’t come up big in the 4th quarter. MCC was a machine with the pass and some big plays were made when it was needed. Yes, the offense kept them in it but it would not have been won without the defense in the end.
One of those agree to disagree moments. As I posted in another thread, the last drive was one for FH lore. The game was lost with an almost hopeless drive needed to win... and FH won it with 2 seconds left on an offensive drive of Biblical proportions.
The defense didn't make the big plays when needed to win the game. If they had, the last dramatic drive would not have been needed. You can make all the defensive plays in the game you want. But if you allow your team to get behind so that they have to make a dramatic drive and score with seconds left.... you didn't make the plays you needed to. Pure and simple.
Strange, it seems there is a willingness to diminish the FH offensive heroics rather than except the slightest notion that the defense wasn't perfect.
If the defense doesn’t stand up in the end and make some key plays, there is no last minute drive to win the game. The offense didn’t make MCC stop scoring when they were successful all night. Heck, Hoover almost put the game away with a pick that would have stopped MCC from even coming back. Regardless he made a hell of a play covering him. Nobody is diminishing the offense. But props are due for the defense to give the O a chance to win.
The defense had a tough match up athletically which brought back to light the weakness in the FH secondary when the line isn't getting to the QB. Any plays the defense has given up this year has been in the passing game. Don't get me wrong as a unit the secondary has played very well for most part of the season but MCC had too many GREAT athletes. I am sure Friendship will as well. Luckily the offense was clicking and wore out the MCC defense late in the game while the defense made some key stops. A game we will never forget. As someone said above the game ball goes to the offense.
If you're saying allowing over 40 points is a good defense, you disqualified yourself from ever being taken seriously again.
If the defense doesn't allow 40 points, there is no last minute drive to win the game.
Its one thing to be a fan, but to stop being objective and practical because of that is insane. If the defense had stopped them any time in the first 45 minutes the last second field goal isn't necessary.
