Brian,
You are certainly correct. I agree with that statement for teams that don’t have enough. I feel bad for those schools too because they are clearly at even more of a disadvantage. However, Muncy had enough players that they could have given backups more time

Steve T, do remember some of these very small schools like montgomery and muncy, etc. have very few players. Montgomery only dress 18 players i believe this year. I’m sure Muncy has more than that but many of these smaller schools don’t have enough players to sub everyone out.

It’s a shame that when Southern pulls their starters that other teams keep theirs in against the Tiger backups. For one, it makes the stats look like the opponent actually moved the ball on the SCA defense, but in reality the opponents keep in their starters against the SCA 3rd & 4th string players. If your starters can’t do anything against the Southern starters, then put your backups in when Roth puts in his. That is a pet peeve I have had for many years now. As the article says, Muncy had negative yardage in the opening half. Give your backups a chance if your starting unit is that bad!
