Notables: The Jags lost two of three total fumbles. If this becomes a common theme, it could bite the Jags going forward. Everybody who watches college and professional football knows just how valuable kickers can be to the win column. Well, the same thing holds true in high school football. There aren’t a lot of really good high school kickers who can get you three points consistently from 30+ yards out. When you have one, it can change your season. Last but not least, the Jag defense only gave up one offensive touchdown to the Patriots. They kept the Jags within striking distance the entire game and came up BIG in OT.
