I didn't have to look at all that film and that's pretty close to how I see it too.. CC is a year away from being a serious title contender and regardless what happens this sat, it'll be an invaluable experience for the future.

Well here we go Sarge!

When I look at Caldwell County, the first thing that stands out to me is the QB. He's fun to watch, very athletic with a big arm. RB's look quick to me, the games I watched seemed like they cut through crowds well. The line looks small. The D looks small but pretty quick, #54 looks impressive. How do I see them matching up with NCC? The QB may give NCC problems when he gets outside the pocket because can give himself more time and make big plays down field. NCC IMO doesn't get to the scrambling QB as fast as they have in past years, that's not a knock on the front four of NCC because with their size and play against the run will likely give CC fits. I look for DE Tyler (Timmy) Lyons to have a big day. Also, CC QB is not afraid to throw into traffic which shows he has confidence in what he's doing but their were some balls up for grabs I saw that you can't afford in a title game. The equalizer in this game is going to be the NCC running game. CC doesn't look like a great tackling team and that in my mind will be the difference. A high scoring game with CC making big plays established by the pass is the way this game can stay close. I don't see an answer for the NCC offense. Some on here have talked about Cain's play as being what makes this offense go and I just don't see it that way. I think this offense is anchored Dylan Hayes and the offensive line. Cain is very good QB and he does hit the open WRs but the decision making can get him in trouble, but he's clutch and that's a great comfort for NCC faithful. 3 passes that I remember last Friday were big time throws. CC's punt formation is fun to watch and they like to throw a little out of it which may help keep the NCC return game in check. As far as everyone talking about how young CC is and how they will be in this game for the next couple years, who cares, this game is Saturday, that's all they should be worried about and I'm sure it is. With all that being said I say it's a 3+TD game. 35.........maybe 42 to 14 NCC but could be closer if CC QB makes some plays. No disrespect to CC just my opinion, looking forward to Saturday.

Thanks and a nice view of Caldwell County. I agree with the offensive line being key along with Hayes but I am one who thinks Cain's play, in the games I have seen, have been the difference.

My intention isn't undermine Cain's play but express how essential Hayes is to the production of the offense with the help of the o line. Cain does a heck of a job.

Understood.

I am going to step out and say it...Breds win big! I see a running clock in the 4th.

Excellent article. http://nky.cincinnati.com/article/AB...rtrectop%22%7D

During this year's National Guard Warrior Bowl in Marion, KY, there were a lot of great players on the field for Caldwell County. I was the PA announcer, and all of us in the booth had the honor of selecting the game's MVP. It was close, and we had to discuss it a bit (normally these things are pretty close to unanimous). After some lobbying from me and my spotter, it was finally agreed that the best player on the field THAT night was Mr. Cole Webster. I have no idea what kind of team NCC has, but I can promise you that any comments about Caldwell's lack of defense will not be taken kindly by #54.

 

Also, Boyd is fast. Like, real fast.

 

This will be a close, high-scoring game, but I'm not about to make a prediction. If I did, it would be wrong (most of my predictions end up being wrong).

 

But I AM right about this: Webster is going to tackle a lot of people Saturday, and Boyd is going to run fast. You heard it here first.

 

(Also, don't read too much into the CC-Mayfield game. Mayfield is a pretty good football team. They've got a bit of history, and, contrary to popular belief, great fans who follow them closely and occasionally post about them on various message boards. Caldwell Co. isn't the only good team that Mayfield beat. They've been known, from time to time, to beat good football teams.)

 

Good luck to both teams, and this is another game that I can't wait to see this weekend!

I imagine that the Caldwell ball carriers may become quite fimiliar with NewCath's #54 as well.

I even seem to remember sweeperboy's mom wearing an NCC sweatshirt

What happened to the Meyers kid, #24. Will he be able to play? Saw him early and he was tough. Think he got hurt against BW and hasn't played in playoffs according to stats. That running clock thing might be for real if he's healthy.

Pep rally on the hill this morning. A light practice then on the charter buses heading to state. Have a safe trip and bring home the hardware!!
