Camels will be tough if its Dowd first and foremost. If Camels come out winging, it is going to be a long night.

Camels threw several tds last night.

Not saying Camels can't throw. But, when they are predictable, not their strong suit. When Dowd pounds them and defenses are concerned about him, Camels passing game becomes much more productive.

Ryle has a very good run defense and the camels won't be able to stop Chisholm and Co. Ryle by 21

Can the Camels stop the Ryle Offense?

Some extremely good RBs in this one!

Ryle 32

Campbell 21

 

I feel like there could be an upset hiding in the woodpile though... Should be a fun one.

This game will show how good Campbell Co is. In my mind, they are the underdog even though they are having a good year. Ryle has a good defense despite what Cov Cath did to them. With the adjustments made on offense, Ryle will improve each week. That translates into an ability to score often and quickly. I think this game will show future opponents how to slow down the Camels offense. While I expect Campbell Co to put up a fight and give a good showing, I don't think it will be a close game. Ryle by 3 TDs.

This is a good test for the Camels run defense. Chisolm will get his yards but if CC can keep prevent the big runs, I like their chances. This will also be a test for the Ryle secondary. If Lickert wants to pass and Hoeh is on target, it will open the running game even more for Dowds. I feel like all 3 of these things need to happen for CC to pull out the win. It will take a complete football game but the Camels can certainly win this one.
