Belfry's biggest weakness this year is self inflicted gun shots. When Belfry is on offensively watch out. Power, speed, and one of the biggest lines in the Astarte regardless of class. The problem though has been Belfry's pension for killer penalties and putting it on the ground. Against Southwestern Belfry wiped out hundreds of yards and at least 2 TDs with unnecessary penalties. Against LC the first time it was the 5 yard variety that kept it close as well as fumbles.

The other critique with Belfry as mentioned is the passing game. Keaton Taylor is a lot of really good things but a passer isn't the first thing that pops to mind. This was painfully obvious against Pikeville. Last year Taylor was a game breaker at SE and had to be respected every play but so far Belfry hasn't shown that threat.

The final weakness is the loss of Woolum. Woolum was the starting SE but more importantly was a darn fine place kicker. He was consistently the source of touchbacks and rarely stumbled on XPs. He also has range to about 40 yards on FGs which was a valuable weapon. The soccer players who joined late in the season have done an admirable job but Woolum is a big time loss.

How about Russell? Where are their biggest concerns?
