It was still big busted plays on the outside. I might be wrong but I think you were very limited in first downs and redzone appearances. Goes to show the speed and big play ability you guys had. But somewhat a testament to our defense as well

There was no bust to it... it was numbers mis-matches due to Corbin's scheme. A bust would insinuate someone missed an assignment or wasn't where they were supposed to be, that wasnt the case at all.

Belfry killed Corbin with the straight counter and a counter option. They scored 5TD's off those two plays, four by Hunter and one by Catron.

Belfry had a blocker for every Defensive man on the counter and the Belfry backs simply outran the pursuit or made a move in the open field to break it longer. When you are swapping your safety for an extra man at the LOS this was the risk you run...

The reason Corbin shut down Belfry's Offense for a Half had more to do with Corbin's Offense more than anything.

Belfry had 4 possessions in the First Half. One was a TD run, the other was a fumble on the first play. In essence Belfry only had two true possessions otherwise and they were both 3 and outs. The first series they had was three runs to the fullback for 9 yards. The second posessions started with a huge loss on First Down that belfry couldn't recover from.

The story of the Half was how Corbin played keep away. The Hounds had easily over 80% of the First Half T.O.P
