Danbury's Running Attack Stalls In Loss To Staples Danbury's Running Attack Stalls In Loss To Staples
Danbury's Running Attack Stalls In Loss To Staples DANBURY, Conn. – One of the biggest concerns for a struggling Danbury football team is finding an answer for its stalled running game. The Hatters lost to Staples on Friday, 51-6. Staples scored on its first two offensive plays and built a 14-0 lead less than a minute into the game. Danbury, which managed just 35 yards rushing in the first half, could not generate a running attack against the big and physical Staples defense. “We can’t get anything going with our running game,’’ coach Dan Donovan said. “We have to work harder on it. We made a commitment to be 60 percent-40 percent on passin…
