I think that you are spot on for the most part.

A lot of Corbin fans got a little bit of an inflated view of the team due to their easy wins over Danville and Perry Central, two decent teams, but hardly title contenders. Then you throw in teams that frankly were not very good in Trimble, South Laurel, McCreary, Casey Co., plus the close loss to a very good Wayne Co. team and people thought they were a state title contender, which they were not.

If Corbin is going to get to the next level, I would think they need to improve in some of these areas, now whether they have the players on the roster to do this, I don't really know.


1.They need to get a little stronger on the offensive line, heck this year they started 2 sophomores on the line who had been RB's before the season started.
2. I would think that utilizing a big fullback might help as well as this year's starting fullback at the end of the year, who by the way played well, only weighed about 160-165.
3. Using the QB as a duel threat would also open up a lot of options offensively.
4. Improve the passing game.

I agree about all of the above.

1. I think that will come with time. We can say what we want but Corbin has traditionally had some of the strongest lines around. If not, that goes back to my players comes in waves. I have no doubt that this staff will have the line playing grown man football next year.

2. I agree about the fullback play. Reckon why Powers hasn't been getting run there as much as in the past? I think he's a perfect compliment to the offense. Strong/broad kid, not a bad runner, and has good instincts.

3. I wouldn't get too crazy with trying to have a Jalen Whitlow/Johnny Football type QB but Taylor is athletic enough that he can make plays from that position. I wouldn't line him up in the gun and give him the option to run/pass each play but a few designed plays wouldn't hurt.

4. I wouldn't go as far as "opening it up" but I do agree that Corbin should at least add a few pass plays other than roll outs or screens. A few routes to loosen up the box for the running game wouldn't hurt. I also would like to see the hot pass to the TE come back. 65/35 is plenty good enough.

On top of that, I would like to see a few more non district passing teams added to the schedule. In the old days, the district slate and playoffs were against teams from Eastern KY, so you knew it was going to be a run team 90% of the time. Now that Corbin is back in the western semi-state, there are a few more balanced or high octane offenses to deal with. Corbin has constantly been burnt deep over the years. Finding a happy medium would do wonders.
