Colts with another shutout. Defense looks strong. Offense seemed to flow better tonight.

The Colts prevail tonight 17-0 in a hard hitting contest. The heat only added to the heated rivalry between these two south end schools. Butler is much impoved from last year, they have a QB who can really sling it. Nice skill players too, I expect them to have a nice year. DeSales showed better o-line blocking, with some nice running up the middke...The D was really good.

DeSales is taking the ground and pound philosophy right now. Play good defense, and pound the rock, and take a few downfield chances. The D definitely plays hard and fast. Butler used their aggressiveness against them with the screens they were running. The secondary is all over the field.

I was given some grief in my inner circles for my pick of 13-7, but Butler is clearly much better than last year. They have good size and speed, and skill players all over the field. It was a great test for the DeSales defense - the kind of game that will make them a better team. The Colts' secondary.....wow. Those guys are on top of their game.
