Who do you think wins and why?

Cov by 21

What was the score last year? CovCath is better, Beechwood isn't. Coaching is the same. Talent dictates at least a similar score.

CovCath should win but you never know what will happen.

This was posted by Oldercoach in the other thread. Some good comments here that I thought should be included in the game predictions thread.

 

"I have been very pleasantly surprised at how much BW has improved from Game 1 to Game 3. QB Burch is smart, athletic, and throws a very nice ball. BW has a nucleus of 7/8 small (emphasis on small) skill players that all get separation and have good hands. Offensive line is young and does an above average job on pass protection. The O-line is not strong enough to create push, leaving the running game totally dependent on deception. I see this their achilles heel against a bigger 5A school like CovCath.

 

Defensively, BW is quick, well coached and will not make many mistakes. Same offensive skill players are consistently able to prevent the big play. Solid linebacker play with undersized lineman quick enough to create problems for normal O-Lines. Afraid CovCath will be large and athletic enough to be able to smash mouth BW defense.

 

Special teams are pretty impressive for BW. Interesting to see 10 running backs/wide receivers (140-160 lbs) covering kickoffs.

 

All this being said, CovCath is too big for an historically small, but again exceptionally well-coached BW Tiger team, and should win by 10. Should BW win this game, they could be on their way to BG."

I think CCH will win 35-21

Last year ... Cov Cath 41 Beechwood 21

 

Last year CovCath imposed their will along the lines. They looked very good against a really good Beechwood team, particularly as in the 2nd quarter.

How healthy is CCH?

[ThrillVille Cardinal51]

42-14

 

Is this one on Saturday, or are they keeping the Friday night thing going?

[EHSNKY]

Keeping the lights

[FanofMany]

I predict Friday night dim lights and the smell of exhaust in the air!

This could be a lot

closer than many CCH fans want to believe.

 

After seeing the BW Franklin score, this BW team may be better than people are willing to admit.

Franklin score doesn't much matter to me. What matters is this is Beechwood's Superbowl game. They will be jacked sky high. CovCath must match the intensity or they will lose.

If beechwood loses do they drop? If they lose big do they drop more than 1 spot? If they win do we bump them to # 1?

I'd the games close and they lose do they drop?
