I know dp has a small defense but still they play hard ya they arent really good at stopping the run but i will have to take dp because they got Nichols and severson they are both one of the best players in state so then i would have to take dp 38-24
DP does seem to have a lot of trouble stopping the run. They are big up front - and their D-line plays very hard - they are just small at linebacker. Brodell plays just as hard as anyone in the state - great defensive player - he is just undersized. It's now or never for them and I believe they will move Nichols from Safety to Linebacker. That will help. I watched their game against Lakota and that is exactly what they did and their Defense was much better at stopping the run in the second half. Nichols will always be the biggest, fastest, and strongest kid out there - he will make a difference in this game both offensively and defensively. Just as he did against Richland. The paper said his numbers were: 86 yards rushing and over 300 yards passing with 7 Td's. I also heard he had about 10 tackles and an interception.
the interception was kinda lucky cuz erbes threw it to besette and if besette would have kept running he could have had at least 20 yards or a touchdown, but he stopped and jumped and it bounced off his hands and practically landed in nichols hands.
