The trio of dolts claiming them to be the greatest thing ever before and early in the season (who have now disappeared or are singing an entirely different tune) got on everyone's nerves but it was no worse than the raider4life and the Norton dumbasses a couple years ago.
But they only lost one fumble, so its not as if Union was gaining possession. But the point still stands that if a team had exponentially better players,they wouldnt fumble and put themselves in that situation.
Im sorry, but I still do not believe CW or JIB or even GC has far better players. If UHS had inferior talent, they would have gotten rolled by Richlands, VHS, SN, and CW. They didnt get rolled in any game. They have comparable talent to any team on their schedule. Its never been a lack of talent. QB play has been shaky at times and that burdens a team quite a bit. Not to mention an inability to tackle.

But if CW, GC, SN, or even Richlands had far better players, UHS would have gotten absolutely steamrolled by those teams because UHS has a first year coaching staff that has not quite been the Alabama staff.
