Late miscues hurt Scotties
Second-half turnovers haunt Glasgow in 32-20 loss

Glasgow’s surprise spread offense gave the team a spark on Friday night.

But second half turnovers doomed the Scotties in a 32-20 loss to Russellville at Hank Royse Stadium.

Glasgow led 12-10 late in the third quarter before turnovers turned the game around. Russellville took over at the Scotties’ 36 after a Glasgow fumble and needed just three plays and a two point conversion for an 18-12 lead.

The Panthers (5-1) picked off Tyler Lindsey’s pass on the second play of the Scotties’ next drive and returned it for a 42-yard touchdown and a 25-12 lead with 34.5 seconds left in the third quarter.

Glasgow (0-6) controlled almost every offensive statistic except the scoreboard with its new offense. The Scotties outgained the Panthers 337-287, had 25 more offensive snaps than their opponent, had two more first downs and had an almost nine minute advantage in time of possession.

But the pair of third quarter turnovers seemed to be the dagger in the Scotties’ heart.

“It seems like every time we get something going good we shoot ourselves in the foot,” Glasgow coach Billy Lindsey said.

Things seemed to go Glasgow’s way from the get-go, but the homestanding team couldn’t take advantage early. After the Scotties’ first possession of the game, a 3-and-out, they had to punt. But the Panthers touched the punt and Glasgow took over at the Russellville 14-yard line.

Glasgow gained three yards on its first two plays, moving to the 11, before LaJuan Smith dropped Tyler Lindsey’s third down pass. Lindsey found Tavion Parrish for a completion on fourth down which was short of the first down.

The Scotties forced a fumble on the Panthers’ next possession at the Glasgow 25. They drove 50 yards before turning the ball over on downs at the Russellville 25.

Glasgow held Russellville and then used a 10-play scoring drive to break a scoreless tie. Parrish ended the drive on a 6-yard touchdown run for a 6-0 lead with 8:13 left in the half. Michael Bradley’s two point conversion attempt was stopped.

The Panthers’ big play ability almost put the team in the end zone with less than a minute left in the half. D.J. Quarles threw a 32-yard pass to Zach Smith, who was tackled at the Glasgow 1-yard line.

Russellville fumbled on first and goal at the one yard line and lost five yards. The Panthers gained four yards back on Quarles’ run, which set up third and goal at the two. But Cody Edwards and a couple of other Scottie defender snuffed Davonta Bryant on the sweep play for a loss of two yards. Smith then kicked a 22-yard field goal with 15.5 seconds left in the half to cut Glasgow’s lead to 6-3.

Russellville scored on its first possession of the second half to take the lead. Bryant scored on an 8-yard run for a 10-6 advantage with 7:30 left in the third.

But the Scotties came right back to retake the lead. Glasgow ran five plays before Parrish’s crucial 12-yard run on third and 10 from the Russellville 29 kept the drive alive. That play was followed by a 17-yard touchdown pass from Lindsey to Hunter Bowles. Parrish was stopped on the two point conversion and Glasgow led 12-10 with 4:10 left in the third quarter.
