[JCHSEAGLE]

Was told today that NC rushed for over 500 yards. 504 to be exact... The tigers maybe be headed in the right direction but will need to get the defensive co to scheme to stop the run. 500 plus rushing is just a crazy number to give up. You will not win if your staff cannot find a way to stop the run. Most basic rule of defensive football at any level stop the run. I wish the tigers the best a rise in their program will only make both them and JC better.

No doubt that is a chunk of yards given up. I think it's more than a scheme problem because Paintsville has one of the best if not the best defensive coaches in the mtns. 500 yds rushing says several things to me when I see the figure. First it says they won't hit anybody. Second it says they aren't very strong and are getting physically beat up. Third it say that Coach Runyon isn't spending much time on tackling in practice and he knows better because he coached under Brugh for many years. Finally I think the Tigers are just young. Also 500 yds can be a little skewed because from what I heard Nicholas Co. didn't throw the ball more than a handful of times. I'm guessing Paintsville fixes their problems if not this year, in the near future. Best of luck at Raceland!
