Ottawa-Glandorf ran at will against Fostoria.
Against Marion Pleasant, it went nowhere.
Marion Pleasant's speed and quickness, especially on defense, controlled the Titans in its 48-21 victory over O-G in the Division IV regional semifinals Saturday at Tiffin.
Nowhere was this more evident that watching O-G super sophomore Logan Kaufman, who steamrolled for 270 yards and three touchdowns last week.
Saturday, as soon as Kaufman touched the ball, he was hit by two Pleasant defenders. Kaufman did roll his ankle in the first half, but played the second half. O-G coach Ken Schriner wouldn't use Kaufman's ankle injury or the ankle injury to quarterback Jake Meyer as an excuse.
O-G needed its 'A' game to win Saturday. It didn't get it.
O-G threw four interceptions and botched a punt.
Kaufman finished with 32 yards on 14 carries.
Here's the bottom line: On Saturday, Marion Pleasant was quicker, faster and the better team.
