This game gives me a headache just thinking about it. IMO might be the most boring game in NKY this week.

Should be a very good game on paper. If Dixie can get rid of the turnover "bug", I think they pull this one out.

 

On a side note, the Dixie student section was awesome Fri night against SK. Hope they continue to get involved and bring big numbers.

Conner in a close one!

Schedule nearly identical to last year's. What happened in the Boone/Conner game?

 

Conner beat Boone 42-14 with the same "weak" schedule to start last year. Oldham is a good team, much better then Dixie, they won their next 10 after Conner beat them last year and they have killed everyone since Conner beat them this year. So I dont agree that the Oldham game is weak. As for Lloyd and Scott, they give Conner a chance to gain confidence and refine their offense before tougher games start. This will be a good game but look for Conner's defense (Linebackers and DBs) to shut down Pike for a low scoring game. Conner 21 Dixie 14

If Dixie only scores 14 points, I'll buy you a drink.

Dixie by 2 TD's, Dixie has too many weapons. I see Bruns having a big game and Pike picking them apart. 28 - 7 Dixie.

I meant to say at least 2 TD's.

Zeke pike has been intercepted SEVEN in THREE game, Quaterback Cy Smith has turned the ball over ONCE in THREE games. The Colonel's turnover margin will hurt them and i believe conner will add to Pike's SEVEN interceptions.

Pike's interceptions have been against teams that are MUCH better than Conner's opponents have been. I don't see this as a valid comparison. Dixie will be able to sustain a much better ground game against Conner than they were able to against SK, Beechwood & NCC. With a more conservative offense, Dixie controls the turnovers and wins the game.

This sounds about right.

Conner should probably just not even show up, ........after all, they will be facing a Top National QB recruit.

Zeke has not been intercepted SEVEN times. But good try. Did you make this up or did you find this stat somewhere?

Ax to grind here or what? you mention this every week. You act as if anyone on this site has said he is the best QB in the nation. It was College scouts who projected this. I guess you know more about talent than Nick Saban or Urban Meyer.

My oh my, you seem just a tad bit touchy and defensive my friend. I mention this every week? Let's keep this board factual. Regarding talent, I know it when I see it.

I think the quality of schedule is secondary to the types of passing game each teams deploy. Zeke throws it downfield and takes more chances than Cy Smith. That lends itself to picks. Plus, Conner has some good DBs. Watch out for the youngster Fogle.
