It is no secret that BC has adopted a ground and pound type mentality over the past few decades. When defenses line up against the Eagles, they expect a battle in the trenches and a half-back trying to run the ball down their throats. As we preview the running backs this year, it is no secret that Hafley’s offense will certainly try to attack through the air more and lean a little less on the backs in years past. However, the engrained smashmouth football character trait that the Eagles’ opposition have grown accustomed to should prepare themselves for a big back barreling themselves down through the 1 and 3 holes looking for at least 5 yards.
