Upper Arlington dug deep into the playbook to keep control of its destiny in the OCC-Central Division race.
Offensive coordinator Chris Vangus called for a trick play on fourth-and-6 late in the game to set up the game-clinching touchdown as the host Golden Bears defeated Dublin Coffman 17-7 on Oct. 14.
“We practiced that all week with Wally Swiney taking the pitch , but we tried it with Austin and he threw the ball a little better,” Vangus said. “It was the first time that we went to the left because of where the ball was positioned. It worked out, though.“I couldn’t even see him, but I saw the ball come out and he got it there,” said Prati, who caught three passes for 71 yards, including a touchdown. “Coach Chris Vangus had the greatest call in the game.
Coffman had turnovers on its first two possessions, leading to a quick 10-0 lead for the Golden Bears. “I thought we gained a lot of energy from the turnovers,” UA coach Justin Buttermore said. “We had a couple turnovers early and that put our offense in a good position. Any time you get turnovers you have energy created on your sideline, and the defense did a good job.”
“We’re not good enough to overcome mistakes like that. That was as bad of a first half as possible from an execution standpoint, from a focus standpoint. That was putrid.”
