I agree, they looked about as even as you can get.  Dixie should move way up in the rankings with the loss.

Ryle got an offense?  I thought they would smash Dixie.

They mostly muscled each other.

Their strength is definitely defense. They are somewhat one dimensional on offense since passing game not there consistently against good teams. I think they should give more touches to Savage at RB but I'm sure they don't want to wear him out since plays LB.
