Trinity v. Cincinnati St. Xavier. Who wins and by how much? How is the Trinity injury situation?

I saw Cincinnati St. Xavier in their opener, and their star running back Darius Ashley sprained an ankle early. He did not play last week when they dismantled number 5 nationally DeMatha. BTW, today they play the Tarblooders of Glenville, Ohio, ranked eighth in USA TODAY's preseason Midwest Region rankings, who earlier this year lost to Long Beach, Calif., No. 11 in USA TODAY's Super 25, 21-13. Ashley's status is uncertain for the Glenville game.

Trinity's O style gives them a good shot. They can't just line up and knock heads with them are they will get worn down. I look for a lot of points scored by both and the home team pulling out a close one.Big key will be the health of the star RB for X.The schedule for X is nuts I don't know how they can do it week after week against the best in the country.

Trinity won't score more than 10 points. Bank on it.

Ashley didn't play in the opener at all. This game could get really ugly for Trinity, especially if Ashley starts.

Cincy St X is the real deal. I'd love to see T pull it off, I just can't see it happening.

I think the Rocks have enough depth and talent to stay in the game; but I don't look for them to pull off what would be a huge upset.

I don't think Trinity has a chance. St. X is flat out loaded.

Rocks are for real.

we WILL score more than ten......Coach Cov is too smart to not let us get two TD's.

Rocks are for real.

Trinity could play St. X 3 games and they wouldn't score 24 points.

 

Trust me, their defense is unreal. You will be lucky to score at all. Seriously.

 

They are that good.

I'll give you 2 Td's. But that's it. No more.

 

I truly believe this defense is only one or two steps behind the '04 Colerain squad. They are football fast and are in great shape. The depth is also phenomenal. If they lose a player to injury, another one steps right in who is just as good. Honestly, it's unfair.

 

The real question is how good is Trinity's D-line and LB's? If they can slow down Ashley, who should be ready to go by next week, then they have a chance to go after the QB, John Hurley. Hurley hasn't really been tested yet and I doubt he will this week against Glenville either.

 

Should be fun. I am looking forward to the contest.

The last time the Rocks played a powerful Cincinnati team was 2002, against an Elder team that would be the eventual Ohio state champion that year. Similar statements were made. Final score: Rocks 44-Elder 20! You underestimate Trinity at your own peril.
