I would have loved to seen Bell play Central minus Wales. Hate to see anyone get hurt but he was the offense. Bell's turnovers kept them off the scoreboard. 2 of which were unforced and the 1st was on the 2nd series with them 1st and goal inside the 8 yard line and the game scoreless. To say Garrard is better than Bell is a Joke. Belfry has an somewhat of an argument.

The total stats by Belfry against Central are very, very similar as the Bell vs. Central game. With no Wales in the Belfry game that would seem that Bell is better defensively than Belfry and about even on offense with Belfry. Belfry just protected the football better, until late in the game when they were forced to pass b/c they were down.

Congrats to Coach Haywood and the Pirates! A class act coach and a great football program!!!! They had the correct game-plan but just came up a little short.

Belfry's turnover kept them from winning the game. Wales is a great back, but not all the weapons Central has. Have you seen Garrard play? They were for real and had speed comparable to Central. Bell could not control Centrals speed and I doubt they could of controlled Garrard's. JMHO.. Garrard would have had a better chance against Central than any above IMO. their offence was better balanced than either Bell or Belfry and their QB was very accurate and the recievers could catch almost everything throwed at them. To say Bell's defense is better than Belfry's is a joke. Belfry held central to 15 points and Bell could not stop them. The reason Wales went out is because he was hit and hit hard.
