2015 Folsom newbies

[awood1]

I was among the skeptics as to how good Folsom could/would be after the exodus of talent from last years team. For those not paying a lot of attention, it could appear to be "business as usual" with this years success. Looking at 16-0 in '14 and 14-0 in '15 the natural assumption is that there was some carry over in talent. That's not really the case. The 2015 Bulldogs had some huge shoes to fill, along with high expectations. They've met the challenge head on, committed to the work and refused to be less.

Hats off to the players and coaches for their success to date. As someone mentioned earlier in the season, this season feels like Folsom is playing with "house money" as expectations for the group of newbies were generally slanted towards a "rebuilding" year.

Agreed. What your boys have done this year is nothing short of amazing. I, my wife, and my family, are big fans. We will be there Friday to cheer you on! Go SFL!

BTW- #17 ranking in the country is not bad for a "rebuilding year."

Yes 14-0 in a rebuilding year is def something to be proud of.

The one point escape in the first game against CVC put doubts in quite a few people but the way Folsom improved each week and put up double digit wins each week confirmed the program was still strong and reloading rather than rebuilding.

And it's also possible that CVC has a pretty darn good team, even if their enrollment has stagnated at 1999.

Wait a minute...what you also have to realize is Folsom will now benefit from the game they played against CVC. By playing CVC earlier in the season will aid Folsom's defense in correcting the errors they made in that game. Folsom will work on the things that CVC did that caused their defense matchup or schematic problems in that game. Can't wait!

While CVC and Bellarmine both run the double wing, they run it somewhat differently. CVC likes the sweep more and getting their big line out front. CVC QB starter was a decent passer but CVC WRs not the threat the Bells have, and Bells QB is a big impact player with his legs and as a passer.

Throwing the ball 6-8 times a game was considered a "threat to pass" in 1964. Us old guys actually remember those days.

God bless.

Hmm I feel like we've heard someone be critical of teams who don't throw the ball a lot before......

Not crirical at all my brother. Its just a different style. SFL teams run completely offenses. I think CVC threw them off because they had no played against an offense like that. Also it was the first game of the year. They have greatly improved since. Myself, and a vast majority of the people on here don't believe you can beat Folsom that way. The Bells haven't played anyone like that all year. That is what I think hurts them the most.

God bless. And go SFL!
