The Raceland defense is still really good and clearly what they have to hang their hat on.

The offense needs work, though, as they've scored 7 and 0 the past 2 weeks against teams that haven't exactly shown themselves to be Monsters of the Midway. Highlands had given up an average of 29 points per game before shutting out Raceland. Pikeville's given up an average of 20 points per game in their other 4 games.

The thing that confuses me about Raceland is that it's pretty much the same players going both ways so it's not a lack of athletic talent on offense. Heighton, Wallace, Webb, and Fannin are leading tacklers on a good defense, but the offense apparently hasn't found a way to utilize these athletes in better ways. Lundy has thrown for 30 and 48 yards in the last 2 games. That seems unacceptable. Is Raceland trying to rest their best line players too much and have them only go one way? Did they drop off that much on the offensive line from last season?

I don't know. You hardcore Ram followers probably know more of the inside story, but from an outsider's perspective...whatever it takes...fix the offense. And take advantage to see what works on offense this week since NCC likely has a bit of a pulse and competitive spirit. This is one of the last games against a team that hasn't flat-lined before Raceland closes with LCA.
