The MUCC Comets defense continued to burn the opposition on Friday as they defeated the Humboldt Mohawks 28-8 in Humboldt. They have been playing really well, lights out defense, said Comets football coach Dave Rogers. The defense held the Mohawks to a single point until less than a minute remaining in the game when Humboldt scored their only touchdown. I cant take away much form the offense as they score enough points to make sure that we win, but defense definitely has been number 1. Te Comets scored on their first possession but then went silent for a while. Rogers said the defense provided the offense with a couple chances to score, but they couldnt capitalize. In the first quarter the Comets were inside the 10-yard line and couldnt score. In the second quarter they were inside the 20-yard line and couldnt score. Rogers said things like that are frustrating. A lot of it is mistakes we made on offense, little mental breakdowns, people not completing their routes, he explained. It is things like that which killed drives and took away opportunities for us to put the game out of reach early. He said the team is at the point where those types of things shouldnt happen, but they do. He said even the professionals make mistakes. If you watched the Rider game on the weekend you watched the pros play way worse than we ever have. And they get paid to do it for a living. These mistakes will be worked on all week and preparations will be made to host the Nipawin Bears on Friday. Rogers said the Comets have to be prepared for any opponent at any time. Like everyone else, they like to play physical football. They are well coached and we have to be ready to play football. Kickoff is at 4 p.m. at MUCC field greg.wiseman@sunmedia.ca @melfortjournal
