No question a good D1 back can come from a small school.  Likewise, a good back at a small school will have more rushing yards than he would at a big school.  The difference as I see it is, when a good back breaks one at a small school, he is usually the fastest kid on the field and has a long run.  In big schools, there are usually several kids with great speed who can run you down.---JMO

What??? The good 4A and 5A receivers with great speed don't block down field for the running back in 4A and 5A?
A good back is a good back is a good back.
I have been to the state track meet plenty of times and have seen 1A, 2A, 3A times in the sprints and the relays be comparable to the 4A's and 5A's. The major difference at that platform is that the upper classes sprinters most of the time don't play football.
And yes , Newton and Kirbyville could beat most of the 4A's and 5A's in Southeast Texas. IMO

I would be willing to bet that every team in 5A  4x100 finals state track meet had a faster time than the 2A winner.  It's just a numbers game.  Same on the football field.  For every speedster a 2A school has, a 5A school has 4 or 5.  I  agreed that a great back can come from a small school(remember Billy Sims?), but too much talent at the 5A level.
