The Broncos knew exactly what they needed to do Friday night at Lockney to secure a playoff spot; and for the fifth year in a row, the Broncos did exactly that. With their 39-12 romp over the Longhorns, the Broncos sealed the deal in post-season play.
According to head coach Gary Jack; the Broncos played a solid game.
“We did exactly what we needed to do,” he said. “It set us up for the game with Panhandle this week. There is no scenario that can take us out of the playoffs.”
Jack praised the team offensively.
“Our offense ran the ball well,” Jack said. “Chance McAnear threw the ball well and our receivers did a good job. The line gave us good protection.”
Defensively, the Broncos were sharp.
“Lockney only had three plays that did anything for them,” Jack said. “Two were for touchdowns and one was a long run. Other than that our defense shut them down and did a good job.”
Trevor Cobb had several tackles and a sack; Charles Mason and Trajen Johnson each had a fumble recovery; Jonah Sell had an interception; and Tyler Smith, Jerami Johnson, and Jayson Pigg all did a good job on the line. Jack said the Broncos came through the game almost injury free.
The Broncos will take on Panhandle at home Friday night at 7:30 p.m. in their last regular season game. Jack knows the Broncos need a good game against the Panthers, and it is an important game for both teams in the playoff race.
“We’ve put ourselves in a good position for week 10,” Jack said.
