Also right now the offense is not the problem. Defensively against good teams this defense has to find a way to stop them and get off of the field.

An example is that it is 19-13 half way through the 3rd quarter. Russell has just scored and the first offensive play Russell has Simpson hemmed in only to let him reverse field and go 80 yards for a TD.

Simpson is the best RB that Russell will see. He has good size and great speed and is probably going to get a scholarship somewhere as a DB. He showed that speed at Russell last year returning a kickoff for a TD.

Russell is obviously missing those kids Ryan mentioned that graduated. Mostly along the line defensive line and their leadership. That said there is still plenty of talent on the field. It is a team that has yet to find itself though. Numerous mistakes and poor tackling have been the major issue.
