Trinity/St.Xavier Predictions

You da man!!!

[Ham Bone]

Coming back to beat Male by 3 at home means to me that the Rocks are not indestructible. I'm going on record and voting for X in this matchup. If Ridder has time, there's no reason to believe the Tigers can't go over the top.

 

The bottom line is always can you stop Trinity's run game. Hasn't been done yet but...

 

T - 24

X - 28

 

This outcome gives everyone at the top something to look forward to come November.

Not sure of a score yet, but I think at this point T pulls out a victory. But we'll see how it goes as week progresses.

Male made that game close, because they connected on the long ball, something X hasn't shown they have in their offensive arsonal especially sinse Roshkowski may be out.

We can compare like opponents which there is only one.

PRP: score- T 29-10

X 27-17

yards- T 532

PRP 255

X 301

PRP 493

X could have easily lost to PRP, if you go by the huge discrepancy between the yards total. PRP screwed up several scoring opportunities to change that outcome.

T, on the other hand, never really was in jeapordy in their game once the took the lead. You can base that in the huge difference in the yards totals.

As far as stopping T's running game, Blackburn can throw the ball, he is a pretty good passer. If you want to compare, Bryant Robinson for PRP lit X up for 348 passing yards, I believe Blackburn is a little bit better QB than Robinson.

[LongTimeReader]

3rd downs will be critical for X. Can they make the plays to get off the field as well as make plays to keep their drives going. Ridder will obviously be key for X, he has to be able to make plays in the passing game to open up running lanes for him and Sam Taylor.

[Eastern Ky Kidds]

Tigers will need to have a compeitive passing attack in order to win. Not sure of the status of B ROSH, but if #10 is out we have already seen what a weapon he adds to the offense. You can expect Ridder will do Ridder things athletically picking up yards on broken plays and Sam Taylor will run his butt off, but defense can't keep giving up the huge plays.

 

If I was a betting man, I would take the Rocks +10.5 (24-13)

[TheDeuce]

Go Rocks.

Anyone know if they will be streaming the game?

Do you think X football has a tough time getting over the mental hurdle this game brings? For schools that are very similar, do you think when T has taken a lead it knocks the wind out of the Tigers' sail because T has been so dominate the last decade, give or take?
