What We Learned after 1st round of Playoffs

From game-day performances to recruiting, here are some things we learned after the first round of playoffs <strong> </strong> <strong>QB Matchup [player_tooltip player_id="27576" first="Beau" last="Pribula"] and [player_tooltip player_id="222655" first="Hayden" last="Johnson"]</strong> This was a QB matchup I was excited for, but Pribula’s playoff experience got the best of Johnson. Though we don’t have the official stats for Pribula, he accounted for 4 touchdowns with 2 passing and 2 rushing. Johnson’s first playoff experience really showed. Johnson only completed 50% or less in 2 games this season, but he had his worst performance of the season only completing 43.5%. He threw 108 yards with no touchdowns and 2 interceptions. Johnson will learn from this and believe he will come back better next season. Below are Pribulas highlights from the playoff game. <strong> <iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/8871943/61869b644df641047840faf1" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></strong> Below are Johnson’s season highlights. <iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14775118/6150c76404289a07d4f160b9" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> <strong>Battle of the Running Backs [player_tooltip player_id="87079" first="Jahiem" last="White"] and [player_tooltip player_id="69212" first="Jadyn" last="Jones"]</strong> White had the better game who had 242 rushing yards with 3 touchdowns.
