It seemed like he had a few good runs/plays early in the game, I thought I saw him grabbing his hamstring after one the only one he went "video game mode" on Leakey, and his speed did not seem to be the same after that. In contrast, #11 and #2 dusted Leakey while Taron did not. Can Taron out run #2 and #11 usually?
Against Leakey, yes. While I am despise Leakey with every fiber in my being and am so happy that Milford won, I am trying hard not to bring their kids into it. With that said, however, there were times that it looked like Leakey players were running with, like how two or more kids run with each other in cross county, #11 as he ran the ball. Honestly, they were scared crapless of #11!
I saw Strawn and Oakwood play on Thursday, which are both teams Milford played this year. I highly highly highly doubt #1 or #50 from Oakwood or any of those big Strawn boys wearing #40 something were so scared of #11 from Milford that it looked like they were running cross country with him.
Yes, I think Milford will lose to either Garden City or McLean if Taron plays "tight QB" and/or is not an impact player. #11 is a great player, but I highly doubt Garden City and/or McLean, like Oakwood and Strawn, will be scared to tackle him like Leakey. While I may be wrong, I think it is a pretty well reasoned opinion since I have never seen anything else like it. I actually hope Milford wins the state title but am skeptical for the reasons listed above.
If that makes me a hater, then please accept my sincerest apologizes!
