These "new explosive backs" played in week 1 and Minford had over 300 yards rushing. I am pretty sure they had over 300 in week 3, and against Wellston (who has a better team than their record) they had around 230-240. They must be moving someone out of the way. Sure they did not have a great game against Coal Grove, but Coal Grove has a nice team and a good, fast defense. This same o-line dominated both their scrimmages, but I am sure they appreciate the bulletin board material. Nothing motivates a player more than having their manhood challenged. I think you will have a different impression after Friday.
I really do not understand all the Minford haters. Maybe you have a reason, I don't know. First it was the eligibility issue and nearly EVERYONE piled on, yet it was resolved and the players are back. Now it is the o-line. I suppose once they shut up the naysayers you all will move onto something else. Maybe the defense, but they have only given up 19 points in 4 games, with 2 shutouts so that probably won't work....let's see..I guess you can start on the coaches, the band, ummm....switching from Pepsi to Coca-Cola, the popcorn.....Geez, give it a break. I guess one thing is clear, people only launch these attacks when you have their attention and Minford aparently has had that almost the entire off season and certainly all summer. I guess there is truth in what they say about people hating winners and those with success.
Minford players.....continue doing what you are doing and show these clowns you are for real. Stay focused, intense, and continue to expect to win. Don't let up and come out the first play and smack them right in the mouth and take control of the game. Go Minford.
