Because the play calling that Haywood makes, is so predictable..
Thats how people like Russell shut down Belfry....
I think these two teams were extremely evenly matched...
The difference was the coaching.. Russell killed Belfry in the coaching matchup
Belfry is so predictable, and everyone knows what they are going to do
But most of the time people can't stop them.. Thats what they rely on..
The only thing is, when Belfry meet teams who can stop them, they have no other options to go to... In 03', 04', you could depend on the talented athletic abilities of the goto guys to rely on to make the big plays.. but since then, Belfry hasn't had those caliber of players, they are going to have to be able to have other options to be able to win
Belfry can't depend on smashmouth football 100% of the time..
Sometimes your going to meet teams with more athletic teams, with players who can get to the ball.. then you have to outsmart them.. and Belfry has never seemed to be able to do that...
It's easier to stop someone, when you know what they are going to do..
And you always know what Belfry is going to do..
I just think they need to rethink thier play calling in these situations..

I really couldn't disagree with this more.

If Belfry's play calling is predictable. Russell's is just screaming "IT COMING RIGHT HERE". 15-20 plays from the shotgun spread formation for Belfry. That is a big change in playcalling don't you think?

The difference in the game wasn't playcalling. It was execution and controlling the line of scrimmage. Russell did both better.
