It looks like anybody's conference in the SFC South. Myrtle Beach is in pole position, but everyone else finds themselves just a game behind. And despite the best point differential and defense in the conference, Norfolk find themselves in the last position. With three away games in their last four Norfolk is going to hope they take their decent away form into them and ball out. Norfolk is a curious case, because I'd like to point out how they could improve, but what am I to say? Their offense is slightly above average. The addition of more wideouts could add some more dynamism to the offense. Although a ground and pound game is the DSFL's bread and butter (and Norfolk's double-headed backfield is one of the more efficient in the league) it's been horribly ineffective at converting 3rd downs. The QB play could use improvement, but Norfolk is home to the league touchdown leader and one of the most efficient passers in the DSFL. On the defensive side Norfolk is exceptional, although their run stopping ability is very poor, only Tijuana has been less effective against the run. This years crop of LBs are smaller, speedier guys who are exceptional in pass coverage, but have difficulty holding these oversized runners to miniscule gains. If Norfolk can replenish their WR and LB corps I think they'll have a great opportunity to take an Ultimini next year. And if they're lucky, they'll have a supreme Safety returning to keep the defensive unit solid.
