6A #8 Ryle vs. 5A #6 Covington Catholic Predictions

Who wins, and why?

[Fear the Nation]

COV CATH fans are quiet this year? I fully expect a hard fought game for four quarters from CCH. I believe less than six plays will decide this game. I think those plays come out to Ryles favor. Ryle by 2 scores.

Not really. There was a 7 page thread about the 2016 team only recently closed.

 

Too much Tanner Morgan this game for CovCath. If CovCath can't establish a running game, then a 2 score Ryle victory sounds right.

I will be rooting for CCH but I believe Ryle could have a special team this year.

Ryle

 

Just too big and too many skill players for CCH to slow down.

[NKY Bandit]

Looks like I have to agree with HB, even though I don't like it.

I'm looking forward to being in Union on Friday night, and I'm hoping that it is a game heading into the 4th quarter. I think that is about the best the Colonels can hope for at this point, keep it close into the 4th and then try to force a mistake and / or make a big play and steal one late.

Cov Cath never lays down and plays to the end. They have talent and that makes them dangerous. We can't let a team like that hang in the game or we might be on the losing end if it comes down to the wire. I have respect for their tenacity. We might be valued as the better team but I can guarantee you Ryle is getting ready knowing they are going to be in a dog fight. I like our D this year so we should get the W. The offense should chew up big chunks moving the ball. The D will determine the outcome. If we get some good stops we come out pretty well. A shootout will favor CCH chances.

Going with Ryle, obvious but Tanner Morgan is the difference maker, especially in an early season matchup.

[Voice of Reason]

How does Ryle's receiving corps this year compare with last year? How many receivers are back?

[All about the Kids]

Ryle has their top 2 receivers back in Bryce Ashley and Jake Long. Chisholm out of the back field along with Cole Burch will also get some balls their way. Zach Cusick will be a deep threat for the Raiders.

I will assume they will also have some special plays under their hats if needed! Friday should be a fun game to watch for us fans!

[World B Free]

Colonels in an upset!

Almost all of them. I think we graduated 2 maybe 3. The kids comming back all got significant PT last year.

[JDEaston]

This is a tough one to predict. Last season the Raiders edged the Colonels 35-28. Look for another close one this season. Will the Colonels be able to get revenge from their loss at home last season, which would be a huge confidence builder, or will the Raiders pick up another week 0 win against the Colonels, this time at home?

This sounds about right.
