[Matney's Prodigey]

I think this game would not be close if Belfry did not have a pass threat because Breathitt's defense is designed to stop the kind of running game Belfry has. The games that have been close between these two teams have been when Belfry has had a passing game to at least keep Breathitt thinking alittle. Again, I respect both teams and feel that unless Belfry had a passing game the matchup between these two teams in the years given would not be within 10 points.

But Russell did not have a passing game and they played the Bobcats to a 1 point OT loss. They also had 4 turn-overs. Belfry would not had turned the ball over that much . Why would Belfry need to pass? They seldom ever pass and they still continue to win. That logic makes no sense. They are winning by running so why would they need to pass to win that game? This is all speculation, but saying they have to have a passing attack makes no sense. It dosn't matter that you know whats coming, what matters is you can stop what is coming. Breathitt couldn't stop Russell (they stoped themselves) and they would not have stopped Belfry IMO.
