Score: 5-5

Touchdown plays:
Team House:
#1: 
#2: Long bomb to Tom?
#3: Long bomb to Hollister with Brian in man coverage and unable to catch up.
#4: 
#5: (Al at Qb, house and cooper left, Davey switched to Team House). Hollister, Chris and Chris? lined up left of center. Kile, Tom and Zach/Davey? to the right of center. defense in a 4-2 alignment. Kile came from far right, across the back middle to catch the TD.

Team Frank:
#1: Jump ball to Mike against Cooper in zone coverage to the left front pylon.
#2: Dylan int-ret-TD
#3: Darius ran an angle route to the front left pylon, with Ryan running a out route long back of the end line (Ryan ended up running his route too shallow). Darius and Ryan both reasonably open, but Darius caught the ball for the TD.
#4: Mike ran a comeback route from slot left, but was not open, as I scrambled, he worked back to my right as I ran left, and he caught the TD.
#5: Mike lined up alone to the right. Chris? played press coverage and Mike broke the press and caught the "back shoulder" (wobbly) throw for TD.

Missed opportunities:
#1 Int: waited for Dylan to turn around on a hitch route, and having already looked that direction, threw to mike under pressure. underneath coverage from House led to his INT.
#2 Int: ran post routes with both Dylan and Scott. Didn't like the coverage against Dylan, so tried to throw away the ball, but my overthrow ended up in a spot where Scott's defender was able to make a play on the ball and intercept it.

#1: 4th and goal: Mike popped open in the back of the end zone on a post route, but I overthrew it thinking I needed more height to allow for possible jump ball. Mike suggested more zip on the ball. 
#2: 4th and goal from the 1 foot line: Rush came in quick and might have been early. Tony, Brian and Scott were running a combo route on the right: Brian and Scott slanting in, with Tony running underneath. But he didn't turn around when I expected him to, leading to a sack, loss of downs.
#3: Darius ran a simple turnaround route in the end zone. Dylan run an out to the front cone, leaving Tony to run a corner route to the back left pylon. But Tony never completed his route, breaking it off near the back middle of the end zone. No rush from the defense, and I waited for Tony to break to the back of the end zone, but he never did. So I tried to fire the ball into darius low and away from his defender. But Chris made a nice play to deflect the ball away.

Strategy:
-Defense: with 7 defenders, we played some 4-2 and 3-3. It was important to mix up the zone looks because 3-3 was so easily picked apart, but provided better deep pass defense against their team speed. In the 4-2, weakness was over the corners and away from the safeties. That weakness allowed team house to move down the field and score their final TD.
-Offense: early on, we moved the ball well by taking what the defense gave us. Some drops by Tony and Darius, but Ryan, Darius, Mike moved the ball with 10-12 yard receptions. After throwing the two INT's, settled down by going back to what was working earlier on (the 10-12 yard comeback/turnaround routes on the outside with the occasional route to stretch the defense). Noticed that by bringing a few guys across the formation, they would pop open as the defense moved vertically with our receivers.
*Example 1: Tony running left to right after receivers on the right cleared out the zone (tony dropped the ball)
*Example 2: Tony running right to left from right slot, and running into a huge hole in the zone for a big gains.
*Example 3: Darius running short drag route and Dylan running the same route deeper from right to left. Darius caught the ball in stride, wide open for a large gain.
*Example 4: Tony and Brian running curl routes into each others' seams. Darius and Dylan to the left, Mike, Ryan Brian to the right. at the snap, I noticed the hole in the middle of the field, Brian's route carried him right into that zone, and though I saw it right away, I hesitated, which caused the defense to flinch ever so slightly, opening up the throwing window for an easy completion to Brian.
