Nice offense...go Rocks

Wow...MALE loses at every facet. X's QB had a wonderful night and this game showcased how bad MALE needs a QB.

I want to pick Trinity, but Trinity is traditionally not at its best this early. IF this were the final regular season game it would be different....Cincy X by 14.

I hate to say it, but I think Manual gets MALE this year.

You'd think Manual would have earned some respect after two 7on7 championships AND waxing Ballard the way X couldn't at home in their cerimonial first game at the stadium. I think Manula can beat both MALE and X this year.

Justin is a heck of an athlete and he literally gets better every week. His RB skills seem to be improving the most and his cover DB skills seem to already be very good. THat may be because he is so much faster than most people he covers. DBeaumont was a football player that happened to be a great athlete. DB was special in the sense he was so 'football intelligent'….not that Jgreen isn't, but not many are at DB's level.

^not totally true. MALE's Defense seems better especially against the run. I will take your word for it on the X offense being better...MALE's offense certainly isn't better overall.

What Park said...if you're and underclassman that could see any time on Varsity you generally don't play JV. THat isn't the rule, but is observed quite a bit. However, don't let that detract from X's victory.

I concur...

lol...quite eloquently stated.

I don't see how that is even remotely applicable to this game though...these kids have not been playing smashmouth FB for 90 years and guessing results on past win records seems a tad far fetched for me too. This years game is gonna be fun...a big change from what we are acustomed to seeing.

^ that is very true and I do see that humor. That darned forward pass play should be outlawed....

Jimmyref, You're right...I think this may be a very low scoring affair. I expect X to do some short passes especially 10 yards deep in the middle praying for a LB to miss an assignment. MALE's closer speed in the flats will negate any of those passes. Park, Again...Glaser has never been known to air it out, they haven't showed it this year either, why should we expect a change Friday? 7-10 points either way.....

Birdie, He said it during the post game of the Lex Cath game. Said 'we'd pass it, but we have nobody to catch it.'

Well why shouldn't we believe it? X has never shown much propensity to throw in the past?

First off...Hello everyone. Glad to be apart of the BGP community. 'Biotech' let me know about this board and it is certainly entertaining. Secondly, I question how many folks here are actually making educated predictions on this game. Why? Because people are assuming that X is the X teams of old and MALE is a traditional MALE team...but that is NOT the case. X has almost no passing game, Glaser said so himself. I expect X to shove the ball at MALE as they always do. Deuce will be the main weapon for the Tigers and maybe some short passing, but not much downfield. MALE has an exceptional defense this year with really good corners as well as the best run D I have seen BRedmon put together in a while. MALE absolutely stuffs the middle so Deuce will have to run some sweeps to get any big plays. That being said, MALE has no deep passing threat at all this year. Anything past 10 yards will either be intercepted or incomplete by many yards. However, MALE's running game is far and away the best option MALE has in winning FB games. Justin Green is getting visably better every game, Dejuan Hobbs is back and the line is blocking very, very well. I expect this to be a real smash mouth FB game the likes we have never seen between these two schools. Who's defense will win out? Who's running game will be best? I don't know, but I will say this...it's possible that Deuce is held to less than 100 yards. 7-10 point game either way is my guess.
