I think you have to consider the fact that this was everyone's first year in the Russell Varsity backfield. Thats one advantage Clark and Gross had was starting as Freshman and/or Soph's. Not to say that any of these kids are as good as them. Im not gonna say they arent either, but that just makes an immense difference.
Not to mention I believe it was Bailey and Bates first year ever at running back. I think you will see a huge difference next year, more of a difference than you saw from the Cabel scrimmage to the Breathitt game.

I agree with you that I think this group will be much better with a year of experience under their belt and another year to mature. They are very talented. What Clark and especially Gross had besides more experience was more speed. If Gross got an inch of daylight he was gone. He was also had the best instincts I have ever seen. Setting up his blocks, knowing when to cut, knowing when to accelerate and hit the hole hard. Don't tip toe.
