It makes them very young and inexperienced. Russell moved the ball on you guys to. a blown pass coverage, a special teams play, and a score against the jv team led to three easy scores. Theres 21 points right there. Russell had the ball inside Pikevilles 25 three times in the first half. with Russells better blocking linman out and our best rb hurt they just had a hard time getting the tough yards. Like I said, you take away one of your better lineman, and Estep or your best running back and see what happens when you play Raceland. You think you win without them? in a small school any injury to a key player is crucial because of lack of depth.

You know mighty dog it doesn't matter if Alabamas offense of line was playing last Friday night. If you run the spread you have to be able to pass the football. A five man line cannot block 7 or 8. It's absurd to think that all game long you are going to be able to successfully run the ball against a good team who stacks the box. Russell's passing offense is extremely poor and ineffective. I remember teams Ivan had that were more balanced than this one. Russell is much improved but they will be in trouble again in the playoffs when they meet someone who can stiffle the run. A better pikeville team and lack of balance is what lost that game, not the offensive line (who everyone is always so quick to blame). What about our defense who didn't seem to want to stop anyone all night???
