As good as Britt is, how does he compare to Rowe.
Ive had the pleasure of watching Rowe over the past few seasons and hes a terrific athlete. As i said, i didnt go to the russell game but with britt running over us like he did, im scared to think what rowe will do to us.
We've had rocks number for the past few years but i think thats about to change.

I've never seen how Rowe runs (speed, power, both). Britt is a pure speed back that can cut through a hole and break an ankle or two on the way. He's not a power runner at all, but has really good natural vision. If Rowe is this type of runner then he will give Whitley trouble. However, I don't think Whitley will give up inside runs as easily. They looked strong in the middle, just didn't have the speed to cover the edges. We didn't really test there pass coverage, so I'm not sure how they will perform there.

I just think Whitley did more right than wrong in the game the other night, they just didn't put points on the board. It was like Whitley came in prepared for hard nosed run it up the gut Mountain football, and that's not what the Lakers do. I think a lot of people aren't familiar with the teams in South Central KY due to the lack of news coverage, and with this years realignment we'll have to wait a few weeks to see what a "bad" loss or a "good" win really is. At this point no one really knows how Russell Co stacks up against Rockcastle, Knox, etc. I for one, think that we will fair quite well, and I don't think that our beating Whitley means that they are down.....maybe as the season plays out I'll change my mind.
