This criticism was fair. Devin does a great job of owning up to any fair criticism and trying to grow from it.

He has energy and ability and is young and inexperienced. I think I was the same way at his age. Give me a chance to develop him into a great one.

Sorry, but speaking for NW fans, we demand greatness from the beginning or assume the whole thing is falling apart.

Maybe the QB can run if he hands it off, and then gets it pitched back to him? IDK?

And if the game is played within 50 miles of Pitt, then all players are required to take turns punting..

Basing it on the quality of student announcers, I think it would be a pretty bad product.

Liberal MO is near me, and they moved to 8 man in the last couple of years.

This year is Liberal's first year in 8-man. The Bulldogs are 1-2 on the year.

Yeah I knew it was recent. I Heard talk about it last year, so wasn't sure if it happened last year or this year.

It would end in a 47-23 blow out. So you might as well just admit defeat so we can save our energy for better things

I don't know if the QB can't run in 6-man... maybe the center is eligible...
8 man you can't have more than 5 men on the LOS.

From what I've read though, it seems like there must be two exchanges of the football before you can run forward. So that would mean the QB can't run.

The snap counts as an exchange.

Sorry to let you know but...........Everything is the same as 11 man in 8 man. The exceptions or some of them are the size of the field, 80 x 40 instead of 100 x 53 1/3, 5 on the line instead of 7, 3 backs instead of 4, Eligible receivers do not Have to wear any particular number ie. the qb could wear #60 if he wanted. Kickoffs into the end zone are set at the 15 yard line. As far as handoffs and passing everything is the same as 11 man.
I coached at a school that switched to 8 man. We played it the last 6 years I was there. Much faster and the only difference is that there are 3 less players on each side of the ball.

[Predatory Primates]

That team had 11 players on the roster and made it to the state championship game.

I love that!

When my daughter was little, she played on a coach pitch softball team.They had 7 players and won the tourney.

I also like at small schools when you see the handful of players veer off from the locker room and head over to play in the band at halftime.

[Predatory Primates]

I was googling 6 man and saw some schools were running 7 and 9 player teams instead of 6 or 8.
