Naz played like absolute garbage for about 45 mins but refused to die.
Thats the one thing I think you can pretty much always say about a Naz team.

Kudos to LZ for putting them to the wire. While I didn't watch live obviously sure sounds like a game where the less complete performance stole one... Gotta be a bitter way to go out for their Seniors.

One for the ages. Naz had no business winning that game down by 11 with 3 mins left. Not sure what happened to their passing game bc it was nonexistent up until the last 3 mins. Naz D holds LZ scoreless in the 2nd half. If the offense plays like that next week and they’ll get crushed by Fenwick.

LZ played their butts off and the players sb proud.

And to think we were disappointed when LZ beat Antioch because we wouldn’t get any of the Thor antics looks like the old ball coach from LZ came through in his stead…

With Coach Rack you’re always in the game… Master motivator… having played for the guy, you’re always in the game until it hits double 0.0… gutsy win by the Runners.

Naz got inspired by the LZ students’ very premature OVERRATED chant. No emotion before that. Thanks LZ fans!!
Naz is either overrated or LZ is underrated. I mean LZ isn't even in Edgys top 30. Team that has held Fremd and Naz to their lowest points of the season might deserve to be ranked?

Just to clarify, Fremd put up 35 on LZ. I do think LZ is underrated.

I think LZ is a good football team. I also think two truths can exist at the same time. LZ is a good football team and Naz did not play anywhere close to their brand of football for 45 minutes.

Good teams put good teams away when good teams aren’t playing well.

Im trying to remember, did LZ miss 2 FGs? Both were longish but had the distance, but were wide?

As someone else said, LZ had short fields galore in the second half, but Naz D showed up drive after drive. I’d guess LZ had fewer than 5 1st downs after halftime.

Were a number of short fields the result of unsuccessful fake punts? What was up with that?

Yeah they missed 2 FG’s in the 2nd half, due in large part to not converting fake punts and turnover on downs. Naz was just struggling to get something going in the 2nd half and it wasn’t going anywhere.

Evanston, Barrington, Palatine, and Bolingbrook held Fremd to less points. Hoffman and New Trier held them to the same total.

Okay so what you’re saying is on any given day Naz is competitive or better with multiple 8A quarter finalists. Thanks for the compliment!

Not sure what you are talking about here. MC held Naz to 23. Barrington held Fremd to 7.
