I am going to go with defense being a big part of DLBs lack of rushing yards. They still had impressive passing #s. EEK also held most teams to a reasonable rushing yard total (with the exception of a couple games). They were disciplined and fundamentally strong IMO (including their O line & blockers down field). Being from one of those schools, I am admittedly bias, but that's my opinion.

You nailed it! Well stated! I know you know this GTD but Grueneich would have easily gotten the record if they didn't have more important things to worry about (getting Bruns in the game was one of the classiest things I've seen on a HS field). Cool thing is Clayton was probably the least concerned about the record.
I personally think this entire topic is laughable. Do we have a similar topic if Larimore runs the table and wins it all? This feels like passive aggressive nonsense. EEK was dominant in the Championship game in large part because they were battle hardened from beating the 2 time defending champs, then the #1and #2 ranked teams on the road. As hard of a road as you will find any year. Yet, because they dominated their opponent in the championship, you are going to question how good they are compared to other years?

That's a really nice opinion. I'll be waiting for any factual evidence you care to share to back it up.
I highly doubt you are making the same statement if Larimore went undefeated and won it all.

Larimore should have won that game, but EEK won and I'll give that to them. Great win. PR also beat that nearly identical larimore team by 35-40 the year before.
