After having some time to ponder here are a few more of my thoughts.1. #30 for Morgan was a hard nosed runner. He impressed me all night. Sorry I did not remember his name.

2. Marcus Frazier did a good job of stepping in for the injured Jacob Sizemore. Caught a couple of passes for big gains and showed some good speed.

3. Kasey Clark seemed to run a little harder this game.

4. The shotgun.....for the Russell fans enough said.

5. A.J. Cordle came in later in the game and did a ggod job running the offense. Give him a few more snaps and put him under center and Jones in teh backfield with Clark. What a 1-2 punch we would have then.

6. The line this year is MUCH bigger than last year. But last years boys were so fast to the ball. Maybe that's why they look worse this year because we are used to seeing the speed last year.

7. Aaron Beekman does a great job at linebacker and plays with a ton of heart. But we miss the size of Timberlake last year. Him and Wills were a lethal combination at LB.

8. It's weird for me to go to the games and see #53 on the field and realize that last years #53 is in college at Northern. For all the Russell fans that know me. You understand. But in talking with Leslie Gross it gets easier year after year.

All in all a bit better game for the Devils although they do need to play with a bit more emotion.
