St X wins, injuries or not. Make it 35 - 14.

Ballard looks very impressive in pre-game warmups. Their excellent size and have good looking athletes. Their quarterback throws it well, but they do not execute well.

 

Ballard is a mystery team to me. I can't predict this one because of it, but I am inclined to take St. Xavier by three touchdowns.

Wow. Does several mean around 5 or 6? They must have some serious injuries to already know they are going to miss Friday's game.

 

Based on my count: 5 on D and 2 on O.

I've never heard of seven (7) starters being out for the first game of a year. That is some tough luck. Unbelieveable!

The St. X defense will win this one, even without Matt Smith and maybe Heuser. Tigers 17-7.

It's been a long time since Ballard had to play X. I don't think they will be prepared for the smuthering X defense. Look for X to win by keeping Ballard at bay.

X 21 - Ballard 0

This is a good opportunity for the "reserves" to show their stuff. Maybe like Lou Gehrig and Wally Pipp?

Shock and Awe.... Ballard hangs close for all of 5 minutes then the fireworks start. X wins 27 - 6.

My exact feelings...I will most likely be at this game.

I thought about going as well. Nothing like watching our two most hated rivals duke it out on the occasion of the opening of a new stadium on Poplar Level. I'm excited just thinking about it and there won't be a shamrock anywhere near the field... strange, eh?

 

Injuries or not, the Xaverian defense will be too much for even an improved Ballard team; and the stadium opening will mean a wild, raucous crowd and and even rowdier sideline. X cruises, 31-17.

This could be as U G L Y as Coach Glaser chooses !! :irked:

 

Tigers 35 / Bruins 7

That sounds about right to me. Just way too many key players missing for the Tigers to be in top form. Defense will have to step up.

St. X by as much as they choose before calling off the dawgs!

 

As usual, the Tigers haven't shown even a tenth of their play calling arsenal. They probably won't in this game either because they won't need to.

 

Final score prediction = Tigers by two TD's.

I would be the first Tiger fan to wish we truely had an arsenal. Don't get me wrong, I love our program and Coach but wish the offense would incorporate a passing game that did not involve 3rd and 15.... a game plan like the one against Trinity a few years back would be nice to keep people honest. On average smash mouth football does beat all but 2 teams we play. An when we are loaded we beat the other two.

 

Tigers by 17 in a great HOME opener.

 

Go Tigers
