Notre Dame head coach Tim Bisci wasn’t overly impressed Friday afternoon after his senior football team clinched first place and home field advantage throughout the Niagara Catholic Athletic Association playoffs with a 15-6 road victory over the Saint Michael Mustangs.
“There’s a lot of bad that needs to be corrected,” he told his team after it had pushed its record to 5-0 with its victory over the Mustangs (3-2).
“We are on our fourth long snapper and we have gone through three centres on our offence. We are not in sync now because we haven’t had the same group in every day,” he said. “It’s getting tough but the fact that we are winning is great and defensively we are playing tough. One time we blew a coverage today and it cost us six points. At the end of the day and to play in this kind of weather with the situations that we are going through it’s great we came through with the win. We just have to figure out in the next three or four days who can play, who can snap the ball, and who can play offence and defence and get stuff done.”
Notre Dame got it done statistically Friday with 22 first downs and 362 net yards of offence but only managed 15 points.
“We had a bad block on the goal line. That’s a touchdown. We had another chance and we blew it,” Bisci said. “Even last week I thought we left 28 points on the field. We have to finish on offence and if we start doing that these games aren’t going to be that close.”
He agreed Saint Michael played the Irish tough.
