The running game does seem to be better this year. I just think last years offense was more explosive and the pass set up the run quite well. The offense finished in the top 5 all time in scoring in the nations history last year, so it isn't putting them down. There are hundreds of thousands of other offenses that didn't score as much as Highlands did last year. I think that was a very special offense last year. I will say that the season isn't over though, my mind can change and I hope it does. I really like this post.

Patrick Towles. He was one of the best QB's in the country. McCoy is a really solid starter at QB, but he isn't near Towles. The passing game was light-years better. Furthermore, 2011 team could have scored a lot more points if they were not taken out because of large leads. Teams play a lot more conservative when they are up by 20 points. I just think they lost a lot with Pat Towles IMO, but isn't that expected?

This team is clearly not as good as last years team at this point. The defense was stout last year and this year they seem vulnerable, especially to the run. Special teams is down this year. And last year was better on offense. And, that is why I am saying we were spoiled by last years team. Also, this team needs to score more points because they give up a lot.

True, I may have been spoiled by last year's team. This team is more of a work in progress. I have no doubt in my mind that this team will be ready come to playoff time. Every game that goes by will be more experience for the birds. This Highlands team is really good and should still be ranked # 1 in the state (4a).

Horrible special teams for the Birds tonight, 2 kick-off returns for touchdowns. 2 onside kick recoveries. Also, the punting game sounded like it struggled. The run defense and the pass offense seem like there is a lot of work to be done. The good news is that all these weaknesses are fixable. I have to say this is my perception of listening to the game over the radio. Harris sounded like he was gaining yards rather easily. Highlands has 1 more week to get ready for the Catholic team from Covington comes to Fort Thomas. IMO as usual, Dale won't run the Quarterback until there is a loseable game.

Oh my goodness... I thought this game was headed toward a blowout the other way!
