I agree with EKU in the sense that totally loading it up usually is not that successful against the Pirates. I also agree that Coach Smith is a mastermind and will play Belfry, if that game takes place, exactly how he feels best suited to this years team.

Also, for any team playing Belfry, not specifically geared toward Boyle, but Belfry’s rushing attack is one that rarely is seen by other teams. Belfry rarely gets stopped and by this I mean totally stonewalled on the ground. I can count on one hand the times this has happened. 2006 against Russell 2010 Central and this year against Huntington. There are certainly others but you get my point. It usually comes down to 1. Hanging on to the ball and 2. Finishing drives. Against JC Belfry only had one fumble but could not convert all their time consuming drives. It’s like comparing running teams like Garrard and Lawrence to Belfry. Same philosophy but Belfry “does what they do” much better. Last year against Central Belfry has over 300 yards on the ground but when you gift several scores it’s hard to overcome. Think about saying Boyle is just your basic spread, well- balance team. Well so is Pikeville but Boyle brings that extra dynamic and championship experience that other teams just don’t have.

Great post and point taken.

Boyle doesn't really have set offense these past couple of years. We can run just about anything and run it well. Belfry is King at what they do. They are well coached and fundamentally sound. They have some speed and play the game as it should be played. It'll be a great game if it happens.

I just wish this week would hurry up.
