I speek with people within the program, they all tell me Rob Rynallds, Barry Jones, Andy Kuchar, And one more not spoken yet could bring thiercoaching abilities to LLoyd?
Is there any truth to this?
Newport 15 Mercer 14. Big "John" will have the troops ready for a war!!! I see the "O" using a power running game to control the clock. The "D" steps up and forces some turnovers. Big upset, it's great to be a Wildcat lately. Just look at what UK did last saturaday.
I hope the players have this same attitude!! That's what allows teams to pull upsets. Newport's "D" will be ready and the "O" is developing a power running game. BEWARE!!!!
16-4 over the last two regular seasons. That's an impressive 80% win percentage. Way to go Big John Schlarman. Get the boys focused for a playoff run!! If the "O" gets on track and the "D" continues to impress maybe an upset is in the making at Mercer in two weeks. Remember the Wildacts have to prove the Spencer game was a fluke first!!!
With the 3 way tie breaker system, the head to head game does not matter. It comes down to points, for the number of wins of the opponents you have beaten(can't be involved in the tie breaker either, so Spencer can't count Newport). I still say Newport would host Spencer if they beat Lloyd(which is a big if!!)
I'm feeling a low scoring game. If Newport pounds the ball, like they have the last few weeks look for a 14-0 game. If Newport tries to get fancy and throw then this could be a long night for the Wildcats. Lloyd has some weapons so controlling the clock would be a wise thing to do!!! Newport looks to regain some momentum going into the playoffs. Have had two good showings in row on "O". This game could give them a big boost if they put up 28 plus points and the "D" pitches another shutout.
