Clean up the 2 early turnovers and Cards will outscore La Salle. I got the cards 49-38!

LaSalle by as many as they want.

These two teams could play 5 games and Scott Co. won't score 49 points COMBINED. LaSalle's defense is the best I've seen in Ohio...right next to my Cardinals' defense.

Look for LaSalle to win by 14-21 points. Thinking 28-7.

I know your right about the Lancers D, but I think Scott will put up some points.

It probably won't be that high scoring you're right but sources from Moeller tell me LaSalle is much better on defense than Moeller but not as good on offense. I'll take the cards 35-24, We will certainly be able to move the ball and score some points.

LaSalle 21-14. Taking LaSalle because of their stingy defense.

LaSalle is 3-0 with a win over Colerain. 35 to 0 LaSalle.

LaSalle has not been as good on offense as they have been in recent years. Understandable against Colerain but not against East Central. But defense has been stellar. Scott Co may struggle to get points on the board and this might not be a very offensive-minded game. Low scoring and avoid turnovers and Scott Co can be in it. Turn it over and play from behind and LaSalle will put it to them.

The East Central game was played in what was left of the Huricane Harvey rain on a sloppy field.

SC fans, get there early as parking is a pain if your not a Lancer fan!

If Scott Cty. scores 35 points on LaSalle, I will buy you and your entire family dinner at your local Cracker Barrel. :clap:

I love the enthusiasm, I do. But there is NO WAY Scott Cty. is scoring 35 points on the LaSalle Lancers. These are the 3-time defending D2 champions in OH and they collectively have the best group of LB's you will see ALL SEASON.

I stick with my original prediction.

28-7, LaSalle.

Is this because Colerain only scored 3 on them? But sounds good my man, Ill take the country boy special

No...our offense was a dumpster fire in week 1. Actually, not much better now.

LaSalle is just that tough defensively. PLUS, you run an option-oriented offense which LaSalle sees every year from Colerain. They are used to it. They are sound fundamentally and as I said, their LB's are the best collective group you will see all year.

I would LOVE to be able to see this game on Friday. Unfortunately, I have other obligations which will keep me occupied.

Will this game have any live coverage?

PS: That bet is very real if you are willing to reciprocate. We have Cracker Barrel's here in NKY as well. I'll even say 35 points is a PUSH...but it won't be close to that.
