you asked for brutal honesty on the picture you posted...i think you got it. So now what can you do to make future pics the best they can be?
You are maxed at your highest ISO but you need a higher shutter speed. Open the lens more if possible or use a different lens that allows in more light.
You could supplement the existing light with flash but your on-board won't work you'll need a separate flash unit and you will need to be close enough for the light to illuminate the subject (45 feet or closer).
Barring those options. Try and position yourself so action isn't perpendicular to you. Take pictures where the action is coming towards you or away from you. It will minimize the effect of motion blur. Check the field to see if there are hot spots where the stadium lights are brighter on the field and shoot when the action is in these areas.

good luck.
