I hate that I'm going to have to miss this one. It should be a pretty good test of how much NC has improved this year.

 

Thoughts????

NC shouldn't have any trouble scoring against the knights. This is not to say that Marion has a bad defense...I just think NC has things rolling offensively. They're much harder to defend now that they've spread things out a little bit. The hard part to predict is how NC's defense will play. Last week, they couldn't hold water. If this holds true again, I believe Marion has enough weapons to make it interesting. I'm gonna say Nelson by 7.:idunno:

Nelson Co. 38-28.

Against Bardstown last week I think the Nelson Co defense was very good on most plays but they gave up a few big plays here and there. Those big plays with a punt and a kickoff returned for TDs kept it close. If NC can reduce those mistakes on special teams they will win 38-21.
