Seeing as how CPA beat Fort Campbell last week, the LCA Eagles will have their hands full on Friday.

 

LCA will have to play near-perfect football to pull this one out, but I believe it can be done.

What did Ft. Campbell lose from last year?

 

What does LCA have coming back besides the big OL - prospect?

 

I say LCA by 15

I am going with LCA in this one as they are the last chance to preserve some Kentucky pride in the series with CPA this season. We simply can't allow a TN school to beat 2 defending KY state champs in consecutive weeks.

 

CPA is a solid and very disciplined football team, but not exceptional. They are primarily a pass only team and run very little. Their QB is tough, strong, accurate and a solid player. He took a beating from FC, but he continued to get up after every hit. On a couple of occasions, FC's defense did not play to the whistle and allowed the QB to get a desperation pass off instead of taking him to the ground. CPA has some very good receivers in the 6'2" to 6'4" range. They are not exceptionally fast, but will catch every pass and will give 5'9" or 5'10" DBs fits.

 

FC lost a very winnable game to CPA on a 40 yard FG in the first half and allowing a huge KO return to start the second half. They acted like they won the BCS National Championship after beating FC. I was wondering if they were going to tear the goal posts down in celebration. LCA does not want that same embarrassing scene repeated in Lexington.

 

The key to the game is special teams, DB coverage of the big receivers, taking the QB to the ground and playing until the whistle blows. After the game win or lose, you will not find a nicer bunch of people than those from CPA. They served our team a post game meal and demonstrated nothing but the greatest in sportsmanship and hospitality.

 

Good Luck LCA!

If Fort Campbell loses any more games this year, you better get used to this scene.

If Fort Campbell loses any more games this year, you better get used to this scene.

 

I can only hope that the memory provides motivation and purpose for the rest of the season.

If Fort Campbell loses any more games this year, you better get used to this scene.

 

The fact that the CPA faithful celebrated the win like they had just won a state championship is testament to their respect for what Fort Campbell has done over the past few years. However, that is the past and this Fort Campbell team needs to put that behind them and focus on the future.

 

As far as the actual topic of this thread, I think LCA is in a similar situation as far as losing some key talent from last year's state championship team. I agree with everything FalconBacker said. Secondary, secondary, and secondary. CPA will throw 70%-80% of the time. #9 & #12 are two of his favorite targets with #12 being the main deep threat. Their kicker is good, he hit a 40 yarder that could have been good from 50. Like any game, penalties and turnovers will be key and hurt Fort Campbell a couple of times. Although I'm not that familiar with what LCA has returning, if they can keep from turning the ball over and defend the pass they should be alright.
