I agree. It is hard to imagine how this team lost to Boyd County.

Is Russell's line just weaker this year than in the past few years or is it something the other teams are doing that we aren't responding to coaching-wise? I ask this because it does seem there is a lot of penetration on both run and pass plays.

The line actually did a pretty good job tonight. Its hard blocking 9 with 7. The biggest difference to me is in the passing game. I'm not knocking Cordle here. But last year Jones was big and strong enough to stand in there with guys hanging on him and still deliever the ball down field. AJ is not as tall or strong and does not have as much experience running the offenese. To me when AJ starts making his reads faster, and I believe he will, The passing game and the running game will both improve. Teams are going to continue to bring that much heat until the Devils burn them some. Even under pressure there were some opportunities there tonight.
