The interior OL didn't exactly look too hot either, especially once John Dotson went down. Clintwood has to find capable Guards to fill the gaps up the middle that Honaker exploited almost all night. The tackle play was solid, though...no problems that I saw at either of the bookends.
I like having the Pound transfer (#38) at DT b/c he's small/quick and can blow up plays, but sometimes he shoots that A-gap and ends up running 10 yards past the ballcarrier when he could break down, make a hit, and stop the play dead. He's not the only one at fault for that either though--seemed like the whole front 7/8 was guilty of it at least once or twice apiece. Honaker ran the ball up the middle like they had Mike Alstott at FB.
Really, my issue with just about the whole team is breaking down and tackling. Too much running and diving at legs/trying to arm tackle for my tastes. That, and injuries like those to the aforementioned A. Dotson/J. Dotson/Vanover plus a kid that played a good game up until he got hurt, Martin Lyle, are starting to pile up early and often for this team. If that doesn't stop quick, Clintwood could be in trouble.
