^ one major problem for belfry is the lack of execution on the option pitch. Warren pitches it to the turf at least once a game, sometimes twice. It is to the point where you have to be wary of calling it IMO.

2) the defense gives up lots of yards and lots of points. A good team can move the ball on the ground in chunks.

I think it is a rematch in the Semi's. It should be a good game. Bourbon returns like 19 starters. Belfry is starting 3-4 freshmen on D.

Those are some reasons.

The main problem I have with the option pitch is trying to pitch it late 10-15 yards down the field.....If you have already have a big gain, then why search for more? I don't think the option will disappear because there are too many yards to be gained from it.
The D is still searching and I wish now in week 12 that they were more settled....it was unreal Friday night how many positions were switching in and out....secondary , LBs, and nose and ends....Looks to me like they are trying to get the best 11 athletes that tackle the best...good idea IMO if they can get them some cohesiveness quickly.
Hypothetically, Belfry and Bourbon should be a great game....I'm not sure that either team can contain the other...One thing about this Belfry team is that they compensate and find ways to win....With all their flaws, they will still be a tough out....Bourbon has not been tested....Belfry has....Belfry has faced much in game adversity many times this year....They know what it is like to get behind and have to rally....Bourbon hasn't....Bourbon's adversity has come in the form of playing several games without their starting QB....Belfry would cause Bourbon to most likely face some situations they have never seen....How the Colonels respond will be key....
If practice this past week is any indication, Belfry is not satisfied....flipping tires and running hills is not normal week 11 practice LOL...
Playing healthy will help....barring anything new, Friday against LC could be the healthiest this team has been all year.
First things first....LC and then possibly PC/Breathitt will be good tests and opportunities to get better.
