I do not know many MS that are throw first past LCA. Also you can ask the Bell Co coaches about teams outside the mountains and their ability to run. When you do not fall into an area like the mountains, NKY, Louisville or whatever it starts to get old fast. You ask the NKY guys and they say no one plays football like them. You hear it from the mountains and from Louisville.

From the sounds of some of the stats people are posting about their RBs their offense need to score to the 30-40 range every game and rush for 300+ yds. AN average MS game is going to give an offense about 30-40 plays. If you are in the high 40s as far as plays someone is scoring pretty fast.

The nationals ave for HS teams throwing the ball is around 10 att a game. So even on the HS level there is not that many teams chucking it up all the time. MS is going to be even less. How many teams outside of one's area are they watching? I saw at least 4 "mountain" teams this year in person or tape.

You might be right about starting a thread about run vs pass. I do find it funny people saying that a team that throws the ball (or appears to) more is not playing real football. If someone prefers to watch or coach a style I can understand but to say if it does not fit their concept of the game it is not real football. What is someone going to call hardnosed defense? they use ot say when you played the Browns under Paul Brown you woke up the next morning like you did not play a game but they beat the crap out of you on the score board. Play Pittsburgh and you could not move the next day though you beat the crap out of them on the scoreboard.
