Haha I played in this game we completely shut down Klienfelter, it was the Clapper kid who beat us, Kickoff return for TD and ran all over the field

Yea Devon Clapper #44, small shifty spell back. He didnt get the recognition because he spelled Kleinfelter but they were a good combo for BA in 05 & 06

My mistake then, I was thinking the Kleinfelter gentleman that was the small shifty back. And yes I remember the kickoff return that just took the wind outta our sails swiftly.

Josh Kleinfelter was #34 and Devon Clapper was #44. They were BA's starting RB combo from 05-06. A heck of a tandom

Hard to stop one of them, impossible to stop both of them, still baffles me how BC ended up beating them

No need to be baffled. BC was a better team. Kleinfelter is obviously one of the best RBs in the history of D6, but Forcellini and Lauer were just as good if not better than Kleinfelter and Clapper.

Forcellini and Lauer were both seniors that year. Laurer (BC QB) controlled that game. He had as many rushing yards as Forcellini and Kleinfelter.

If weren't for the 40 yard TD pass to Clapper in the first quarter and BC losing a ton of fumbles, that game would have been worse than 27-10. B-A couldn't get anything going in the second half.
