Penalties and a dynamic CC Miller blitz package stymied the Cuero Gobbler’s offense. Jaxxon Marie was sacked 5 times, as the Gobblers were held to under 200 yards of offense in a 5621 defeat.
“I really don’t think our kids quit,” Head Couch Jerod Fikac said. “I heard some good, positive talk on the sidelines.”
Receiver Tony Perez took the opening kick 90 yards, but it was called back due to a penalty. To keep Miller’s explosive offense off the field, the Gobblers' moved the ball slowly and methodically, chewing up as much of the clock as possible. Running back Davyon Varela pounded the ball for the Gobbler’s first five plays of the game. Penalties would force the Gobblers to punt with six minutes left in the first quarter.
