WRH Fan, I think you are misunderstanding my post. I simply mean that if our offense can move the ball, our defense gets rest. That's simple football knowledge right? If our offense can get a few first downs and stay on the field, our defense doesn't tire out as quick. Wallace defense kept our offense off the field and our defense tired out. Easy as that. Our defense has looked good every game this year besides the Wallace game. I credit us looking bad not only to our stagnant offense, but the Bulldogs on both sides of the ball.
Sameoldthing, I don't think we are top 5 material. I'll put us in the top 25 in 2A all day though. If we win, maybe top 15, but top 5 is far fetched. I'm just happy to see my Panthers back to ECC competitive form.
