For the record, I never mentioned the Collinsworth's complaining. Pressure can come from oneself. Whether the pressure is external or internal, only Dale can answer that one. The way you twisted my post I would have guessed you worked for MSNBC.

Noted. I didn't mean to twist your post. I thought it was a very reasonable implication from your post. If you didn't mean such, thanks for the clarification.

So many people foolishly pontificated before the season began that Dale was going to feed Austin the ball in order to help Austin become Mr. Football. That hasn't been Dale's MO since he came to Highlands. He's worried about winning state championships; not getting players named Mr. Football. He believes that a diverse offense, not reliant on any one player, is the key to winning state. He has spent the season so far developing other players to increase the chances of winning state. He knows that Austin can perform at a high level.

Again I know of no one that is giving Dale any heat about Austin's lack of carries, not that it would matter any way. Dale is going to do what Dale thinks is best and it's kind of hard to argue with his past thinking. You seem so sure that he is getting heat for not giving Austin more carries. Why are you so certain?

And the comment about MSNBC, man that really hurt. I'd rather be called a CovCath fan. LOL.
