@oldgrappler is spot on with his assessment. Boone can win this game by grinding it out on the ground. If they can sustain drives and keep the Birds' offense off the field, the odds are favorable for a victory. I agree that Boone will have to score in the 20's to win this one but their strength is the running game and also Highlands' weakness. Onward and upward, Rebels!

Highlands weakness is our running game? I have to disagree with this statement. But best of luck to the Rebels. I have a feeling Offense will be on the field a lot.

Even without Puslfort I think Highlands O will produce enough.

I was happy to see Boone get a win last week, it's always nice to see a team going through it the way they were get a W....But Highlands wins this game easily in my opinion. Highlands is having a major down year, but I don't think it's a question if Highlands wins this game. Just my opinion, not throwing shade at Boone.

Could it be that @Mediocre Nachos meant Highlands' weakness is the run defense? That would be the matchup--Boone's running game vs Highlands' run defense.

 

I haven't seen Highlands this year so I don't know but it appears that could be what M N meant by his comment.

Agree! The run D has been suspect all year. With the addition of Dunn, hopefully that continues, that will help a lot.

 

I see the Birds winning 35-7

That may be I don't know. With some of the adjustments that have been made I think D will be ok. IF Dunn remains going both ways and the other Lb that was helping 41 stays I think it was sparkling shoe's then we will be ok. They both made great improvement on the D. But as we all know thing's don't always stay the same.

It would behoove the Birds to continue playing #91 Soph Cooper Schwalbach as a LB this week if the REbels are going to try and keep it on the ground. He is excellent at run support.

I'm sure if he's good they will rotate him in with 17 I would think.

Cooper was a major help on our defense.. He played that OLB position better than I have seen this yr! Keep him in!! Playmakers make plays on both sides of the ball!

Highlands 37 Boone 13

From what I hear Boone knows all our weakness on both sides of the ball and so they need to play the best 11 no matter who or what grade they are. IF Cooper is as good as you say I pray they let him play. These boy's need another win

Yep, that's exactly what I meant. Sorry about that. Highlands' run defense is suspect and the running game is Boone's greatest strength.
