Well I said that 5-5 regular season wasnt out of the question. Tbh, I expected us to have given up around 50 points in the first 2 games. I didnt expect us however, to have only scored 17. I expected us to struggle against the run and have some growing pains in our own run game. I just figured we would put up enough points to make up the difference. Heighton was 3 of 3 for 60 yards against Russell when he went out. Now, I really dont think it would have won us the game, but we are all having a different conversation right now if the final is 41-25 and not a 41-0 shut out. But, I've watched Paintsville take huge losses to Pikeville and turn it around in the playoffs. I've watched Us beat the breaks off Pikeville in the regular season and lose to them in the playoffs in OT. I think the Belfry scrimmage and the complete domination if a 5A Montgomery Co team gave us a false sense of security.

No doubt that if Heighton doesn't get hurt it's a bit of a different conversation. He, along with Lewis and Cox were the relied upon offense until the running game gelled, he's gone, now what.

I still say the line on both sides of the ball is playing as soft as any line I ever watched play at Raceland. Salmons will truly earn his money this year.
