After the Trenton Lightning s 29-12 loss to the Boise Stallions on Saturday night, head coach Vaughn Hebron said his team made too many mistakes. When the Lightning lost its opener to Tennessee on April 13, Trenton wide receiver Rasham Moore felt the Lightning made too many mistakes.
Mistakes are part of football, or any sport for that matter.
The key is having the right plan of action to make up for them. Perhaps that s where the Lightning s problems lie. It s not the actual mistakes per se, but more the reaction to the errors that s put Trenton in an early 0-2 hole. For example, the Lightning had no answer when it fumbled on the Boise 10 yard line, and five plays later the Stallions scored a touchdown that put them up 22-6. Nor were they really able to respond when the Stallions Larry Johnson intercepted Bill Ward s pass in end zone, which led to another seven points for Boise.
