Coaches deserve more credit

It was a third-down play in the fourth quarter.

Dan Lucy, the KOLR-10 TV sports director, and I had been struggling as playcallers in the second half of the Missouri State football Maroon and White Spring game.

Well, frankly, I thought we had been calling one heck of a game. The statistics, on the other hand, did not agree.

It felt like every time we had a quality call made, the defense would make a good play or the look we wanted just was not there. Sometimes, the look was there, but the student-athletes on the field made the wrong read.
