re: 12 yo take on the game....

That, without question, falls on the coaching. We showed up with the intention to win. They were playing to survive. Huge difference in execution. The kids on the field are going to respond to kicks in the nuts like the fake FG TD. It's the coaches' responsibility to ensure that it doesn't blow them out of the water for the whole fricking game. This was their greatest failing on Saturday, IMO.
