I agree with AT that it will be very low scoring. That is because I am rooting for the Tigers to win and if they have a shot it will have to be low scoring. Being shutout in two games already this season says how difficult it is for this offense to produce points. They move the ball really well, but can't finish drives. For them to win, they have to fight at the end of the drives and punch it in.

 

The defense will have no problem containing Brooks, I believe. In the past, there has been 3 and 4 guys that St. X can't contain for the Rocks, but this year they really only have one to key on although I do recognize there are some young very talented wide outs that will play D-I before its over. Logan Butler and Connor Barnes have to have their best games at linebacker of their lives and keep Brooks in front of them.

 

Too hard to make a score prediction right now, but if you made me... I say 7-6 in favor of the Tigers. Don't expect fireworks, just an ugly win that still counts as a win.

If Xs defense shows up we have a chance. Keep it low and ugly. No track meets. T offense can't score on the sideline.

It's close enough to Friday so I'll go ahead and make my prediction:

 

X pulls out a close game... 16-12.

I give T a slight edge in a number of areas: 1) talent, 2) strength of schedule, 3) coaching, 4) scheme.

 

Go Rocks!

 

THIS! No offense to X coaching staff

It's game day......the work has been done...for better or worse, time to see it.

His wisdom echoes clear

Our Alma Mater dear..."
