Honestly, some of the "slowing down" was more of questionable play calling by the Huntington staff. They were committed to trying to pass and run the 6 and 7 hole. The passing is one thing...but this Belfry defense is very quick to the edges and attempting to run in those areas are futile at this point.

When they committed to running between the tackles midway thru the 4th quarter....there wasn't a lot Belfry could do. Huntington had a great drive, that ate up clock which led to the FG that pushed the lead back to 8.

Don't get me wrong, Belfry's defense played well enough to stay in the game...and if Browning could have played at QB....we may have put up a few more scores....but, without a doubt, IMO, Huntington was the better team that night.

I agree with you if the quarterback had been playing would have made a difference. We all know that Belfry’s game against good teams is time of possession and if maybe he had played they might have got more first downs which keeps the defense off the field to get that rest the need especially in these first games when it’s rather warm now later one when it cools down it really is not as much of a big deal. 1st game long season they will be better and a hard out for anyone
