I'm interested to see how Cov Cath's defensive backfield handles the Henry Clay wide receiving speed duo of Langston Jackson and Ramond Jackson.

Josh Moore of the Lexington Herald-Leader says the CovCath - Henry Clay game is the 2nd most compelling game in Kentucky this week.

I'm interested to see how Cov Cath's defensive backfield handles the Henry Clay wide receiving speed duo of Langston Jackson and Ramond Jackson.

 

I too am very interested. Those two players (specifically Langston who ran a 10.5 100m last year) WILL be the fastest players on the field tonite and if they get an inch of daylight there will not be anyone that can catch them. This game just might be closer than the running clock that some are predicting if he gets loose.

I like my Colonels by a touchdown

10.49 to be exact.... LOL..... Guy has some wheels. Fastest guy in the state in the 100 and 200m dash. My Colonels better contain him. Could be interesting.

So with the beef that Henry Clay has on their O-line, and two receivers that Cov Cath's DBs are going to struggle to keep a hat on, that means the Colonels' defensive plan has to be getting a big push up front and keeping pressure on VanHorn all night.

 

I think Cov Cath's biggest advantage in the game is their offense, and their ability to grind out drives and keep the Henry Clay offense off of the field. I'm guessing we may not see as many deep passes tonight out of the Colonels because our receivers aren't going to be able to get the same kind of separation that they oftentimes can with other teams' DBs. We may well see some more pass attempts over the middle to Michael Mayer. I'll be interested to see how they use Duncan Summe and the jet sweep as well. I figure this will be a good night for Casey McGinness and the running game. Might even see a decent bit of the wildcat look out of the Colonels...they brought that out for a good bit of their Bluegrass Bowl game last year against Lex Cath.

Very great points. Does our height advantage help on the passing game though? This could be interesting to say the least..... Go Colonels!!

If Henry Clay has a lot of speed, I look for more McGinness runs between the tackles. This may be a game for the heralded CCH offensive line to show what they are made of.

You're right about that...there's definitely a height mis-match between the Henry Clay DBs and the Cov Cath WRs.

 

Henry Clay Defensive Backfield

Langston Jackson: 5'8"

Ramond Jackson: 5'9"

Kobie Neal: 6'1"

Nate Steiner: 5'7"

 

Cov Cath Wide Receiver Corps

Zach Coburn

Jack Coldiron: 6'5"

Andy Molique: 6'2"

Johnny Schuh: 5'9"

Caleb Summe

Luke Summe: 6"2"

 

I didn't see any height listed for Zach Coburn or Caleb Summe, but Zach is an inch or two over 6', and Caleb is two or three inches under 6'.

You nailed it on the head on our strategy

I would say Zach is 6’2ish
