I agree with 7 on 7 being overrated. Pikeville has some good athletes but I think they will run more this season due to the lack of experience at QB. I am new at the rules of 7 on 7 but from what I understand you get points for INT's, 3 and outs..... I can see Pikeville being a power team but I Mac knows a heck of a lot more than me

It's no secret, Pikeville has always been run based, with the exception of a few years here and there. I don't think anyone has said they will all of a sudden be a spread pass happy team. Will they be able to take a few more deeper shots downfield to make teams respect the pass a little more and not load the box? Absolutely. But don't forget, Squeak Charles was fairly potent on occasion with deep passes to Cody Estep too. They will definitely lean on the run as they always have, but you can't totally load the box either. There may have been points for the INTs and 3 and outs, I'm not sure. The scoreboard on the field was turned towards the teams. And I wasn't really concerned with the score so much as I was seeing some consistency and rapport between the WR's and QB. That's still a work in progress, like any other team at this stage of the season.

Linemen, running backs, pads, officials, conditioning will all play a crucial part in how the season plays out. Pikeville will be fine.
