Lots of talent plain and simple. ER has always had good athletes, benefiting greatly from a few families with great genes but never in a bunch like this and usually had to go through tough private schools in the past. 4 power 4 guys with other D1 and several small ball college guys in just a few years and a ton of solid pieces. If Brooks can’t get a gold ball with this much talent than its a failure in my book. Some people will be impressed with the wins and playoff runs but that will be under achieving and no excuses should matter. Most 2A teams don’t have this kind of talent come through in 30 years much less 3. 

Only 1 D1 guy on the team this year. MC technically has more D1 guys than us this year.

One thing I’ve noticed that could hurt ER tonight is their lack of ability to kick it deep on kickoffs. The last few weeks they’ve been doing a lot of squib kicking. Not sure if it’s lack of ability to kick it deep or if it’s planned, but Fayetteville seemed to start with pretty favorable field position last week on a lot of their drives because of this. Just something to keep an eye on.

Starting kicker came back from a broken foot a couple weeks ago. He used to kick it deep (although sometimes out of bounds), but not sure if it's in his arsenal right now.

On team you have 2 power 4 guys. Although 1 is hurt. And I think Brooks, QB, and 1-3 others could all play at the next level on scholarship. And you’ve had 2 other groves sign Power 4 in last 3 years (I know one didnt workout) and the RB from 2023 that is at Indiana State. I could go on. Bottomline no one in 2A has had talent come through their program like that since 2022. Many coach's could do what he’s done which is beat up on the Houston County types and then struggle with 1-2 opponents they play a year that have actual talent. An actual good coach beats the teams with equal or slightly less talent.

Brooks 2 postseason losses are against the state champs though. Tyner had D1 kids, just didn’t get exposure
