What bothers me as a Middlesboro fan is the game was this close and with Bell next week, nothing against Pineville but Bell is on a different level than the two teams that Middlesboro has played. Grant Co was really bad and Pineville from what I saw in the scrimmage wasn't very good either. If Middlesboro can run the ball between the tackles against Bell they can move the ball on them , that's were south Pitt beat them and Whitley had some success running between the tackles tonight. But the question I have is the Middlesboro defense . They have given up 40 points in 2 games to two bad teams.

I can assure you, those 40 points should not have been given up. Middlesboro has been up big when most of those points have been scored and not really trying. If Middlesboro kept their defensive starters in the whole game on both of those games, they would have likely given up 20 instead of 40.

They had only given up 12 to Pineville when Middlesboro put the brakes on (It was 42-12) and they had only given up 7 to Grant County when they put on the brakes (It was 48-7). The defense has been better than what you think, but against Bell County? Well we'll have to see.

The offense is more of a question to me. Yes, they score. But they can very well beat Bell if they stop making some STUPID decisions and stop getting PENALIZED so much.
