A thought on this game. I personally thought Russell should have taken the ball when they won the toss. Their best chance was to get off to a good start and try to take some of the energy out of Belfry. Belfry was fired up and the two big option plays on the first drive did nothing but pump them up more and deflate a defense that has struggled tackling all year.

You're probably right there. They aren't a team that comes from behind. After the Ashland game this year, I said that it was about as complete a domination as is possible. I was wrong. 500 yards to 100 yards and 42 to 0 is a bit more impressive. Thank goodness for the 70 or so yards Abrams managed to get because without those, this team may have been shutout in points and nearly shutout in yardage as well.
