Here are our two biggest takeaways from the second round of the playoffs.

Franklin has long been powered by its running game, but quarterback Anderson Terrell's emergence has added another dimension to the offense. The senior entered this week with 1,325 passing yards, 15 touchdown passes and just three interceptions while completing 68% of his attempts.
