Well....I for one, didn't expect to get thru the regular season with only 1 loss. In looking at the schedule....and also knowing what had to be replaced from last season....I definitely could see 3 or 4 legitimate losses sitting out there.

Kudos to 99 for predicting as minimal losses as possible. However......I will say this.....IMO, this has been a banner year for Belfry's coaching staff. We all know that Belfry's staff is very, very special...and has been for some time. But, I think this year....they've elevated their game even more. The development we've seen on the offensive and defensive fronts have been nothing short of amazing. When you consider the talent and experience lost via graduation....and....that this year's squad has picked up from where we left off in Bowling Green last year...the staff deserves a tremendous amount of credit. I'll gladly take my crow on a baked bun....with a little bacon please

I agree, the coaching staff has done a great job as always. But the reason I thought Belfry would only lose 1 or 2 games was the fact that look what our lines had to compete with day in and day out last year at practice alone. Those boys got more experience at practice than they ever would in any game last year. That's not throwing off on any of our opponents last year that's just facts. Those boys got beat to death by that massive line every day and kept coming back for more. Not only that, imagine the game knowledge that this year's line gained from our outgoing seniors on how to block, how to make the right reads, etc. The best part is that we only have 1 offensive lineman that's a senior. This group we have are young. I think Belfry will be just as strong the next 2-3 years if they stay healthy. But you can't play and learn without coaches and Belfrys staff is second to none.
