Penalties are like pie

RICHMOND, Ky. (WTVQ) – There’s a cumulative effect with anything.  Eat too much pie, you get bigger.  Don’t practice at maximum effort enough and you’re not ready for games.

As we mentioned last week, EKU was getting too many penalties.  128 yards in all in the 41-14 loss at Ball State.

A few penalties in a game may not hurt.  Too many, and it’s like that pie.  You start needing new belts.

Some punishment is put in place, like up-downs for the Colonels ahead of the trip to Tennessee Tech this Saturday, and you stop eating pie.
