From his team’s four turnovers to the inconsistent play of his secondary to a second-quarter stretch where a scoreless game broke out into a 33-0 halftime deficit, Smith-Cotton coach Mark Johnson — seated in his Jennie Jaynes Stadium office Tuesday afternoon before practice — went through a laundry list of problems surrounding the team’s 47-7 loss Friday at Nixa.
