Shorter took a loss on Saturday at Division II West Alabama 37-7. To be fair, UWA is a preseason Top 25 team (currently ranked #12) and handed highly regarded North Alabama one of their only losses last season.
Shorter only got on the board with 1:39 left in the game when Brandon Morten returned a punt return for a 66 yard TD. As CBC says, special teams are important.
Shorter's triple option offense only managed 4 first down and a total 66 yards rushing. Shorter's QB tandem of Ben Williams and David Byrd did not complete a pass and were a combined 0-7 on the evening.
It looks like we can absolutely let the Free Safety and Rover loose and play assignment football.
I'll preview the Shorter game completely later this week for full offensive and defensive breakdowns and matchups to watch.
