NamecipS Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I'm going to have to pick Mercer. However, I think this game will be a battle until late in the 3rd. Newport's going to eat up some clock and keep Mercer's potent offense on the sidelines as much as possible. I'm thinking Mercer wins by 15-20. They just have to much depth for Newport to overcome. Newport's going to have to deal with some distractions in school this week and that will affect some key players. I'd love to see Newport win, I just don't think it's in the cards this year.

mercer_titan Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 If Newport can put together long drives all night then watch out. I think that's a must against Mercer. I don't see no other way they can be beat. Teams cant match point for point. I think thats the key. Keeping their offense on the sidelines. I predicited 35-14 but it could be alot closer. It's the playoffs so you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideOpen314 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Mercer Cty should win this game by at least 3 touchdowns and possibly more, There appears to be something of a cloud hanging over things at Newport with the recent arrest of a teacher and the fallout that may come with it. Wish Newport the best but think this is where the season comes to an end for the Woldcats.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogtown Pride Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 This game is going to be a defensive battle. Both teams have great defenses. But, I think Mercer has the depth, senior leadership (8 seniors starting on defense), and outstanding athletic ability on the defensive side to pull this one out! Go Titans!

EKU_05 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Mercer will blow out Newport IMO.... the first time around the Wildcats kept it respectable and this will give Mercer the opportunity to make a statement to the rest of the state. IMO, no doubt Mercer should be the favorite to get to the Carpet and win the thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just 4 fun Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Mercer, imo, is the favorite to go all the way this year, but, I thought the same thing about Ft Campbell last year and Oboro Catholic the year before. Thats why you play the games...Mercer should prevail in this one...34-14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMZ76 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 UPSET SPECIAL...'Cats use long ball control drives with no turnovers to control clock and shorten the game. D'fense causes multiple TO's that result in superior field position. Wilfong wins it with a trick play...NHS 17- MC 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nptwildcat Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I'm hoping for a huge upset in favor of the Cats and BTW Coach Schlarman has these boys focused for the biggest game of the year. GO CATS!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger127 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 The only chance to beat Mercer is to keep the offense off the field. Mercer's defense seems to good to let that happen. Mercer wins, probaly a similiar score to the first game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
