The fact that Bell handled Knox pretty easily on the line surprises me.
Whitley IMO had the upper hand on Bell on the line and Whitley was definitely stronger in the backfield until the fullback went out, and even then, Whitleys backs looked to be doing better.

Whitleys biggest problem is defense. Its that simple. I said it all summer. There is just nobody ready to step up and take over that defense. Whitley has trouble lining up in there base defense sometimes, its almost embarrassing. It could be youth, it could be coaching, but i just think its flat out inexperience.

Gut, you must have played RB b/c you know very little about the line of scrimage. Whitley did not handle Bell upfront, although they did move the ball in the first half even without Hopper. Heck my fat but could have ran through those splits the OL was getting. The young players from Bell did not adjust to what Whitley was doing. Whitley came out in a formation they had not shown with huge splits. That was a good job by the WC coaches. It took until halftime for the coaches to get everyone on the same page on defense. 2nd half was a different story.

How much did Whitley move the ball after halftime?

As for Mills helping the Run defense how can he do that at Corner??? Unless he is going to play safety or LB he will not be a big factor against Knox at CB.


Knox 28
Whitley 14
