Comments about ‘High school football: Tucker, Harris power Pleasant Grove past Jordan’

Alright, let me get it started......PG is the best team that ever played the game. they have soo many D-1 players.....nobody will touch them....Seriously though, Holding Jordan to 14 points is pretty impressive.

This was by far the best team effort/solid game for PG. Good job Jordan and good luck with the rest of the season. PG keep going one game at a time. I can't believe how tough this region is. Everyone has to be ready every week.

Go PG!!

this is to all the haters, jordan NEVER stood a chance!!!! pg is for real, i can't wait to continue to laugh after every game we win! were winnin for sefa! dallas and fanaika can't be stopped!

You are right, this is a tough region... even though eventually someone will have to win or lose, the competition is fun!!

Mr. Hart meet Mr. Kruger!

Also since there will be a plethora of PG haters that are wanting to post about how Jordan doesn't have a defense and that is why we won I would like to remind you that Jordan scored 6 points on PG's starting defense. There was a lot of chatter that PG fans couldn't talk until they beat somebody worth beating... well I'll let this game speak for itself.

(btw Alex Hart is an amazing QB and fun to watch)

RE: PG PLAYA - Every team can be stopped. The difference between PG and the rest of the region is the rest of us have nothing to lose...but PG's target is getting bigger and bigger. For PG's sake, the loss is much easier in region play than it is in the playoffs. Can't be beat? I think not, I just hope we can bring our "A" game to your house to give you a true test. Prop's to your kids, they are playing well and deserve at least the #2 ranking. i still think Bingham is #1. But understand your thinking PG is 1. Congrats to holding Jordan to 14 points, thats pretty impressive against Hart. Good Job and Good Luck.

Jordan is a classy team and they played hard. Dallas was a whodini tonight on some of the escapes. Both sides were talented. Good luck to Jordan next week at LP. Way to take what the Defense gave you tonight PG. Good luck to both teams through the toughest Region ever. Hope your hand is OK Hart.

I'll be the first Jordan Fan to comment.

Great job PG.
Dominating defense. (Hart was on his back all night - weather he got the ball off or not)
PG controlled the line on both sides of the ball.
I want to give PG's offense credit but you have to admit our defense is WEAK!!! (Good job PG offense)

They teach you this little thing in little league called wrapping up. Jordan, you might want to try it sometime.

No excuses - Jordan was out played, out coached, PG had a lot more heart than Jordan.

Jordan try to bounce back week against LP.

I'd take Hart if I was a college coach, at least for quarterback. Throws a much nicer ball. Lloyd would be an awesome receiver though.

Grades

Offense: B+, Lloyd just makes things happen! Hymas had a strong night, Tucker had a break out game and it was good to see Sampson back in the mix, but the standout? Jeff Harris! That kid can run and its easier to tackle a ghost!

Offensive line: C, Lloyd still spends the night running, give him more time! Coaches, you had a good mix a few weeks ago, why on earth did you mess with it?

Defense: A, holding Jordan to 14 points, 6 against the starting unit was impressive!

Defensive line: A, QB's, that nightmare wears #11 and goes by the name of Joe Kruger, enough said! Jordan Read and Donny Lewis also stepped it up in the secondary.

Special teams: B, Sorhaitz can kick! Special teams learned how to tackle. Doman had a hard time catching the ball tonight.

Coaches: A, Coach Brady did an amazing job getting the defense ready, Coach Sanderson did good as well but needs to get the right offensive line on the field!

Note: Jordans Hart is a real player, very impressive, and his favorite target Hunt is great as well!

You beat yet another 5A team that will NOT make the playoffs. Lets see, that makes 0 wins over playoff teams.

Hey... jk... I know that will wake up the PG fans.

Seriously, Great win. It is tough to win every game, no matter who you play. Your schedule works out perfect for you. Every team has been a little better every week since Timpanogos and now you face an even better team Brighton. LP should be no problem. Alta and Brighton will be great matchups.

Seriously, good luck to the players and coaches, not the delusional fans who think since they have beaten a bunch of teams that will not be in the playoffs, they are the best ever.

PG should be grateful for their transfer..

Great win boys, that was a great game to watch! It was also great to see "Jeffers" Harris (that was for your Mrs. Harris) and Kyle Tucker have career games!!! I think most impressive was how Coach Steve Brady got the defense ready for a powerful Jordan offense, allowing them only 6 points in 3 and a half quarters. AMAZING!!!

On a different note, I don't remember any specific problems with any other teams we have played so far this season, but Jordan was a classy team; players, coaches and fans. Alex Hart is a quality quarterback, and will continue to give teams fits.

Congratulations Vikings, stay focused and get ready for a tough Brighton team. You are really playing like a team and that is a beautiful thing to watch!!!

What line-up are you talking about? I've only noticed one different player upfront and I thought that it was becaue of injury. Please tell us, I'm interested.

Wow PG, WOW. You guys are tough! I was very impressed. Like I said in a previous comment. "If you held Hart to less than 300 yards and 4 TD's you got my respect" You did 1 of the 2, by keeping him under 4 TD's, but he did get 318 yards, at 72% completion, so you get my respect. I have no idea how Hart keeps doing it? He had to run for his life all night. PG's offense is good, not great. As long as there defense keeps playing like they did, they will be alright. PG you are for real. Work, on the throwing game though, because Alta and Brighton will stop your run for the most part. "No excuses" PG was the better team. Keep up the great work. Jordan receivers, you were great last night. You were getting hit so hard and just kept popping right up. Keep your heads up Jordan, you still have a lot of games left. That was fun to watch.

Go Diggers!
Hart, you are amazing!

re:

The starting line has been Erickson at center, Hunt and Walker at guards, with Weese and Browne at tackle.
Injuries serious or otherwise have been Erickson, Weese and now it looks like Hunt.
Players seeing time for the injured are Jenkins, Fanaika, King.
The most effective lineup? Jenkins at center, Hunt and Walker at guards, Fanaika and Browne at tackles.
If Hunt's injury is long term, this is what I would like to see from left to right:
Tanoai-Fanaika-Jenkins-Walker-Browne

If Tanoai can play with a cast, he would make a big, fast, athletic player that could control the D end on the weak side.
Just my opinion.

I don't think there is any doubt who the best QB in the state is. I like hart, but whenever he had pressure he forced throws or took off into the arms of the D-line. I really feel that Lloyd is the complete package. Stanford got a steal. Last year if he felt pressure, he would tuck it and run. This year when he feels the heat coming, he makes the D-line look foolish, finds a way to get out of it, and then is looking downfield for open recievers. I would like to see him be a drop back passer but thats not PG's style.

Hart is a great QB. Makes great decisions with the ball, is a decent scrambler, and very accurate. But his numbers are decieving. He owes his pass yards to his reveivers and their ability to get yards after the catch. 90% of Hart's throws were swing passes or dumps over the middle. He did have 1 or 2 good strikes though of 15 yards plus. After PG's 1st team defense went out, Hart had two drives where he threw the ball every down and was close to 150 yards passing in the last two possessions alone vs the 2nd string D. So really, He threw for about 168 yards against PG's first team defense with 1 TD

Best team effort I have seen yet from the Vikings.n Lloyd, you truly are somethign special. I read coments on here after last weeks game about "he doesnt have a D-1 arm". Really? He certainly had the legs, and he looks to have one of the stronger arms in the state of utah at the QB position. I would like to see what you he do as a drop back passer. But PG's offense is more of a running first, then roll out your QB and let him make plays. Hey, it has worked so far. 6-0 and rolling

Great team play PG, and great QB Jordan. Last night's game had the 2 best Quarterbacks in all of Utah high school football playing in it. Harris, way to step up. That kick return was huge. Defense- outstanding. That stand at the end of the half after the phantom fumble recovery was impressive and showed heart.
