A good passing game will be the fall of Belfry. You don't know much about football if you think the weather can't affect the game. The ball is harder to get a grip on to throw and harder to catch with the hands. Belfry is a great team. If SC doesn't play assignment football on defense and miss their assignments it is a different game. Belfry will probably win but SC can play with them. Playing on turf only helps the footing not the throwing. I am still picking SC by a touchdown.

Trust me, I know about football, what I was saying is that 2/3rds of his plays couldn't have been passing plays...I mean Sheldon Clark is not known as a passing team by any means.

It seems like I, along with everyone else, heard the same thing about a passing game will be the fall of Belfry..I think I heard that in 2003 & 2004 when Belfry played 2 great passing teams.

The pressure put on the qb by the defense of Belfry seems to get most passing teams out of their comfort zone.

Now, am I saying that Belfry has a great pass defense..NO, but I am saying that the defense tends to do good enough that most teams haven't been tremendously successful in relying on their passing game against the Pirates.
