I think Boyle has shown they are the best in KY. I also think they get mauled in this one. St. Edwards is drawing the top talent from an area with a population of around 3 million. 

How many counties does Boyle draw from??

I don't know squat about Boyle County, but I know Ed's is an absolute machine.   I have to go with Ed's in this one.

 

With that being said, St. Ed's typically loses a game early in season, their coach just makes sure they are playing their best football starting in about week 8.  So if you are going to take on a giant, now is the time.

Massey ratings have St. Edward winning 40-8.

I don't think that would matter much when you consider that the population that St Edwards is pulling from is not that much smaller than the population of Kentucky.

I think Boyle gets beats by 4Tds. I feel sorry for Scott County the following week!

I just noticed St. Edwards are now ranked 12th after beating St. Joseph.  Rankings don't mean everything, game is decided on the field.

This will not be close, but that’s not necessarily an indictment on Boyle County. 

After watching how Frederick Douglass got handled by Akron Hoban last year I expect this to be more of the same. Top shelf Ohio football is another level from here. I grew up near St Edwards and, for decades, they just draw great talent and are well coached.

That being said I wish Boyle nothing but the best.

I don't think that is a fair comparison.  Douglass had to go with their backup QB and Boyle is much more disciplined than Douglass.  

 

It’s a good time to catch St. Edward

Could be close. O-line and D-line play is what’s going to be tough for Boyle.  I think they match up well in the skill positions.  That Cleveland area is about football, wrestling, and hockey so be ready to get physical and I don’t mean tough and hard hitting. It’s about technique and discipline up front.

Hope Boyle gets a big win here.

Last year, St. Edward beat Elder 34-33. Louisville St. X lost to Elder by 10, so based on that I think Boyle Co. can be competitive. 

Haven’t got a clue what they got going on in St. Edward, but them Rebels from Boyle County have been on fire for years. Would feel better if it was at home, but I’m going with the boys from KY!

That'a all I am hoping for and come away injury free!
