I’m not saying Taylor Co didn’t have good backs. However if you are basing your predictions off the fact you stopped them then You better reevaluate. Taylor spent the season battling in their games, their backs played 4 quarters in a lot of their games and Taylor Co rode those two horses to the semifinals.

Belfry backs did not play in a lot of 4th quarter games, Dixon who will be the best back Bell has faced all year only played in 9 games and only carried the ball 73 times compared to Oliver’s 280. When you look at more than just the total yards and really dig into details you will see that all 3 of Belfry’s top backs average more YPC than Oliver, Oliver averaged a TD run every 9.5 touches, Dixon averages a TD every 7.3 touches, Bentley (a Youngstown State commit) every 7.6 touches and Hensley (who will be the most physical back you have seen all year) every 8.8 touches. Taylor had 3 backs go for over 100 yards this season, Belfry has 8.

Team wise Belfry has out rushed Taylor Co by nearly 50 yards per game in fewer games.

No doubt Bell faced a strong Taylor Co run game, but it was a traditional run game, I promise Belfry’s flexbone hydra will be on a whole different level and if Bell can’t take away the FB it will be game over early.

Belfry 34
Bell 21
