You'd never know it by the way he and the Soaring Eagle were shoving Hurricane around Friday in their 21-18 3A title game win.
"We're interchangeable," Berg said. "We have a lot of great guys and we're all at the same talent level. Any of us could start. It doesn't matter."
It didn't seem to.
Juan Diego ran for 202 yards and passed for 137 more, and the line did some of its best work on a pass late in the game. With the Soaring Eagle leading 12-10, quarterback Brian May dropped back and kept dropping, luring the defense to follow him. May dumped it off to Tana Vea, who turned and looked upfield at the backs of four Juan Diego offensive linemen.
The line took care of most of it from there, knocking down would-be tacklers as Vea almost went in for a touchdown.
That's the norm for Juan Diego, which racked up over 300 yards rushing in a semifinal win over Park City.
It's not like the Soaring Eagle overwhelm teams with their size.
"My left tackle weight 195 pounds, my right tackle's about 185," coach John Colosimo said. "We don't outman them, they outman us.
"Don't tell them we're actually smaller. I want them thinking we're bigger."
Some of the Hurricane players had a decided advantage. Hurrciane had a linebacker/lineman in Fernando Sefita who was listed at 280 pounds.
"[Sefita's] a big boy," Berg said. "We just don't get intimidated."
Hurricane might have noticed.
