I hope Follet pulls this out. Not because I dislike Strawn but because I’ll cheer for the underdog. Follets biggest struggle will be slowing Strawns offense and no team in DII has been remotely successful in doing that. It seems like In nearly every game I’ve watched that a new name is mentioned for Strawn. In one game Hodkins is mentioned, in another Frogga is mentioned, then there’s two other kids that are mentioned (no disrespect meant by misspelling last names or not remembering kids). My point is that in the six man arena a team can, and often do, ride the coat tails of a stud. They can be good teams but there’s that one player you know you have to slow down, such as the Amherst team of the mid 90’s (Dwayne Miles). Strawn pulls this out relatively easily because they don’t just have a standout player, they have standout players. Take away any two of these 4 players I’m thinking of for the entire season and Strawn is still playing in the Championship game.
Slow down Strawn’s offense!!!! Good luck with that!! I’d love to see some numbers on the times Strawn (with the starters in) have had to punt or turned the ball over on downs this entire season against DII schools. I’ll bet you can count them on your fingers.
