Now that you ask yes we were missing our starting RB, a 2 time all district RB and 3 year starter, and we were missing another 3 yr starter on defense. The DB that was missing has 6 interceptions in 5 games this year, he too is a 2 time all district DB and 3 year starter. Both seniors and leaders. Yes we played our starting QB but several key components were missing. We may not have been as short handed as you but we were short handed none the less.
