The defensive stats are really pretty close.

Russell has really had only one really bad game this season. That was the Ashland game. That was a game that IMO the players thought that all they had to do is walk onto the field and they would win. Ashland had none of that. After the Tomcats got physical and the many mistakes made it was to late.

Simon Kenton is just a good team with a great RB. That game got away after a flurry of fumbles. Still Russell moved the ball very well that game.

Mason County is a good team that honestly Russell should have beaten. Russell won almost every catagory except the score. Poor execution on special teams and silly penalties killed Russell in that game.

If Russell takes care of the ball, eliminates those ridiculous illegal procedure penalties and comes out ready to play then they will win this game.

You are 100% right
