Recently I spoke with a head coach of a small program, Single A. This program dropped football last year due to injuries for the season. He told me they are going to play eight man football this coming year. If your not familiar, it's the same but just no offensive tackles. Still five skill guys but fewer lineman.
Around the country small rural schools have played this brand of football for years.
With teams, not all, struggling to field 35 to 40 players yearly could this keep our sport alive?
I'm looking forward to seeing it in action. Could be fun, maybe more wide open and yet still football.
This will not be popular with everyone. Anything that keeps our young kids playing a sport I believe in, and love, works for me.
Save football?
