I hoping some good old grass rolls are in the future this week for them, and a better next week !!

Turnovers will kill you, that's for sure. The thing is though, if Minford was punting, that means that Rock Hill's defense was doing its job.
You're right on the money, but there is a difference of getting off a 30 yard punt and making them earn the yards and move the ball vs giving them the ball inside the 20 yd line twice because of snaps over the punter's head.
Minford seemed to move the ball well when they mixed in the pass. Rock Hill was loading the middle of their defense and stopping Minford's ability to run between the tackles. The Compton boy looked very good running the ball for Minford, but its hard to run at a loaded box.
Hopefully Minford starts hitting those 5-10 yard routes to loosen up opposing defenses and open up the run. Even not completed passes will loosen the defense up due to the threat of throwing the ball downfield.
RH didn't run a loaded box! Further, RH didn't have to make any adjustments offensively or defensively the entire game. They just played hard ball and deserve some credit for that, not to mention the 373 yards of offense they had:)
I am not taking anything from Minford, as they are a strong program, but please give credit where credit is due.
I don't know what RH will do this year but I promise, they will let people know they are on the field.
