How far away is Simpson from the record?

I believe he's a bit over one hundred away from the record.

Scary to think about it considering he's only a junior. I can't even imagine the numbers he'll put up as a senior when he's a year bigger, stronger, and faster.

He's about 190 lbs this season, with the frame to put on more. I would love to see him next year at 205/210, he's hard enough to bring down now but at that size watch out.

Care to expand?

 

I would have to say Sk wins this game 35 to 7

I think SK wins this one but I don't see where everyone thinks this will be a big win for them. Didn't HC play both NCC and Ryle to closer games than SK did?

Yes they did. I look for this game to be close until the end. If Holy Cross shows up to play like they did for Ryle and New Cath, look for this game to be a close one. They MUST hold Miles Simpson to a minimum amount of yards and must start to pass the ball.

I say...

Comparing opponents is absolutely worthless.

How is it worthless? It shows how each team played against and compared to the other team. If anything I think it shows that this game shouldn't be a blowout like many are predicting when HC has played the bigger teams tough with the exception of Holmes.

SK and its going to be ugly.

I'll give you one example. SK had Conner down by 13 with about 2 minutes left, Conner wins the game. Conner then has BC down late in the 4th, but loses a close game. BC then absolutely destroys SK leading by 42 at the half. Games agains common opponents mean absolutely nothing. If you are going to count the HC/Ryle and HC/NCC game, then you have to put the HC/Holmes game into the equation. I don't think SK will blow HC out, SK's main concern is not losing any players in this game, but I think after one half it won't make a difference.

Alright I agree that you can't put all your stock into common opponents and I wasn't trying to say that I was just saying that it does matter to a degree. I agree with you that all games are different with the different opponents and that's why there are so many upsets. Also my fault I thought you had said that SK would blow HC out, but you didn't obviously. Overall I think these teams match up pretty well...Great running backs, virtually no passing game, and pretty good defenses. It will be interesting as this game virtually means nothing as far as playoffs.
