Traditionally East has pretty good skills but lines are big and slow ....

 

 

Are you sure that you are not talking about West Carter with the big and slow lines? East Carter for the last several years has run a version of the wing-t that has even more activity for the guards than Russell version...their guards were usually smaller than Russells. EC lineman usually move well but not the strongest horses in the stall. (Aaron Miller was a big lineman for east but he was anything but slow...he possessed NFL skills according to the UK staff.)

 

Very accurate statement about the previous years offensive line. Usually smaller and pretty quick. Miller was an exception, a ton of talent, just nothing to show for it.

I think this game will be alot closer than most of you think. If any of you watched the Mason and East game you would know that East shot themselves in the foot from the get go. Not saying that Mason would not have beaten East anyway, you just cant turn the football over that many times on you side of the field and expect it to even be close. I think this Russell game you will see a much closer game.:thumb:

 

WAR RAIDERS!

 

 

East better use ball control and try and keep Russell off the field, but Russell can score from both sides of the ball if East turns it over it will be a long night for the Raiders so I am going with Russell in a close game.

 

Russell-35

East Carter-21

What do you mean nothing to show for it? Did he not get scholarship offers? Excuse my ignorance, I'm just not sure what you meant.

East currently isn't running any wing T. They have a new coach, and they started the year running a spread offense. The past couple of games, they've also run Power I.

I think he is talking about East's success when Miller was there, not Miller's success.

As a Russell fan, I'm hoping for a solid Russell performance, but I gotta tell you, my gut instinct is if East protects the ball, they may give Russell some problems. We'll see.

That's what I was going on when I made my earlier statement. I fear the same thing Play To Win. Their game with Mason was not a fair assessment of what East is capable of. Then throw in TYJO playing at 75 to 80%. Someone on defense is going to have to crank it up a few amps.

East had decent years when miller was there. 4 straight playoff years and maybe 2 victories in the playoffs.

 

I think what he is talking about is Millers talent with nothing to show for it as in college degree and nfl money...both of which he was and still is very capable of. You would be hard pressed to find any athlete in this area with a more disappointing story. (for fans that is...he may be the happiest person in the world now--more power to him) D-1 football may not be for everyone.

That is indeed what I was referring to. Aaron is a fantastic kid, he just wasn't happy with where he was. I guess that is hard for me to understand, I would love to have had an ounce of his god-given ability in any sport that I played. East had success with Miller and he could have been a huge part of UK's current success, and possibly playing on sunday!!!!!!!
