From what I have seen of Bell County opening it up and throwing is the last thing they should be doing.

Bell is not a very fast team whatsoever. They are big..they are strong... but there is not an abundance of fast twitch fibers or guys who can make plays with their feet. Their defense is solid, but it is far from lights out and with the number of guys playing both ways it could be disastrous to see them have to play an extra 2-3 defensive possessions from the effect a passing offense could have from a clock standpoint.

Bell is a good running team... they would be a below average passing team.

Brutal honesty here... Bell simply isn't who we all thought they were after Week 1. At the time the South Pitt win looked really good... we all heard all the positive rumblings from the Bell faithful from the off-season.. then Bell followed that momentum up with two dominating wins over cream puffs.

It was all fool's gold.

South Pitt is not a good team at all... they are 1-3 with a lackluster schedule and lost to Sequatchie County, a weak team. Washington County and Whitley County will struggle to win 2 games. What Middlesboro exposed is Bell is still a team lacking playmakers on offense and a team who doesn't have very much team speed.

The positive for Bell is they still have one of the best Lines in 3A and their defense is still strong. Lots of football between now and November to improve and find their offensive mojo.
