Don't know why anyone wouild be surprised. Dixixe ia never ready to play early in the year.

You can talk about all the Dixie, woulda, coulda you want. However, Hightchew throwing for 230 yards and three touchdowns while rushing for 116 yards and another touchdown is pretty impressive.

 

Hightchew is a throwback to the old days. One of those guys who is just a great natural athlete and still plays three sports. When we list best athletes in the history of N. Ky., he is going to be near the top of the list.

To say that Pike would not have made a difference is crazy. Dixie would have controlled the ball more with Pike thus limiting the amount of times NCC gets the ball. Everyone says that Pike cannot play defense but no one mentions the Hightchew was going both ways the entire game. Dixie would have scored with Pike in the game and the final score on this one might have been 42 - 40. It will be interesting to see what changes are made on the defensive side of the ball. It looked like Dixie was playing a lot of sophomores on both sides of the ball.

 

Not to take anything away from NCC as they played a great game and the coaches made some great calls on the fake punt and onside kick but Dixie will put up some points this year. The question will be can they stop the other team. I think Pike will play defense because he has to, because Dixie just does not have the talent not to play him. Pike and Hatton will make a big difference in this team.

 

Also people want to blame this on coaching but I do not think the coaches dropped balls and missed tackles. Dixie must have dropped 5+ passes that were right in thier hands and both of the interceptions were passes that went right through the Dixie receivers hands.

Pike would not have made a 36 point difference. The last Dixie score was Dixie 1st offence against NCC 2nd defence. Also NCC still controled the ball most of the game, both the offence line and defence front 7 controled this game from the very beginning for NCC. I thought Dixie would win this game in a close one without Pike, as NCC had to replace 8 starters on O and probley just as many on D. I really didn't notice but did Dixie use alot of players both ways? I know NCC did.

In all 3 sports !

I was glad to see the Breds throw the ball. I was worried they wouldnt have much of a passing game this year. Nice win.

Pike would not have made 36 points difference but if he plays then NCC does not score that many points as Dixie would have controled the ball more. I am not even saying Dixie wins this game with Pike, all I am saying is that you can not say that Pike would not have made a difference as he would have. I mean take Highchew out of the NCC offense and what do they do? He was thier offense in the first half.

 

Dixie will have some serious trouble the rest of the way stopping people if something does not change on the defensive side of the ball, but hey it is early. LOL

In addition to Pike not playing and Goose playing out of position did I hear correctly that Dixie was missing some OL?

Great adjustment by the reciever(#10) to make the one touchdown happen. Sometimes it is a great pass, but sometimes the catch makes the play.

LOVE to hear about the great line play. The boyz never get enough credit, only the crap when things go back. Keep it up Breds, my second favorite team.

Total embarrassment for Dixie IMO but they will improve during the year as always. It's pretty obvious that NC is much better coached than Dixie. I will be shocked if the Red Colonels do not start the season 0-3.
