I think maybe it's both happening at the same time!

Xgrad not this year T is not going to come back in a rematch and prove they can stop the X offense. T has still to find an effective Oline and then find a running game. I would like to be wrong but I just think this is the year X wins. Nice win for the tigers tonight looking forward to giving you a better game in DEC.

Offesne is not the issue. 360 total yrds gained against X without two OL starters, not bad. The issue is and will continue to be the bad scheme the D plays against X, fix that and T has a good chance of winning the next meeting between the two.

I agree and even though T will improve X will win the next game as well for this very reason(improved Offense). It will be a closer game and more of what people expected to see this past Friday, but X will win.

If you look at the majority of those points it started in 2004 when we got our current D guru. Glaser and staff own TB, he just keeps getting out coahed in the regular season game. Frankly it gets old. I know it is all about the titles but this game to the old timers still means a lot.

No but if you do nothing at all it sure does make it easier for the other team. X had a nice O game plan but it could have been defended much much better. I will just say T has a long way to go.

You just said just about everything I wanted to say. As a former Trinity defensive player I am sick of the same bad play year in and year out against X, then everyone using the excuss that the O will get better and we will out score them in the playoffs. Hey we have the kids on the D side to shut down a power running team but the coach has to put them (players)in a positon to make plays. Bad coaching tonight really bad.:mad::mad::mad:

The major issue as has been stated many times for the regular season game beween these two has been that Trinity has not been playing really good defense. The playoff(State games) Trinity has play very sound defense and the games have been very competitive. Trinity seems to be playing better defensively this year heading into what should be the first of two meetings this season. For this reason I see this game being played very close until the end as opposed to the past four years( not counting the 06 game ) when X has totally dominated the line play. T 21-X 14 OT win.

The win you speak of was one of the best games Manual had played but that was due to the very good players coach Nichols had on that squaed. If not for the many injuries that season it might have been the year for Manual. Ifs and buts.

Time will tell, I think the O is better just by vertue of the balance. I know the running game is the same and as Finch heals it will only get better. The D may not be the same but having a really balnced O can help make the difference, just look at T.

Manual is not close to being as good as last year and X just might be better. X by as much as they want.

You are so very correct in that statement. X Lou has both a very good running game and what seems to be a good passing game this year(more balance). I was surprised by the lack of running by Cinn X with a 5yrd per carry avg, playing with the empty set most of the night makes it easier for the D. Great win for the Rocks.

Now I like our chances we always play highly ranked X teams great at PJ, oh wait that only happens in the playoffs.

Ok Ox you can always sit on the X (Cinn)side and cheer for the Rocks if that would make it more palatable.:jump:

No way is this the best T defense in 20 years, we have not even played a good offensive team yet. Friday will reveal a lot about this D. I think we have very good players just not a good scheme.

This game will only prove what many had said before the season started 6A football is down this year outside the big two. X wins BIG.

I would love to see the Rocks knock off Cinn X but the D will not stop the power run game X has nor the play-action pass. T does not have the O at this point of the season they had last year hence we will not score as many points. Cov and Beaty will have a very good game plan to break down the 3-3-5 D of X but it will not be enough. Repeat of 2003, X24 T-17.

GO Birds!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you are corrct

Cinn X wil play three teams that are all powerhouse programs before they play the Rocks. I agree about having a larger D but it will not be enough for the Rocks to beat Cinn X.

Info given on X. Lou T is not ranked. Cinn X is #9. Hows that for some Love for our local X folks. Congrats. 18. St. Xavier (Louisville, Ky.) Last season's record: 13-1, Class 6A runner-up Key players: RB Deuce Finch (5-10, 200, Sr.), OL Seth Harvey (6-0, 323, Sr.), DL Trevor Foy (6-7, 240, Sr.), DB D.J. Hall (5-11, 190, Sr.); QB Matt Brutscher (6-1, 190, Sr.) Outlook: The Tigers will aim to complete a run to the state title this season after suffering their only loss last year, in overtime, in the Class 6A final to archrival Trinity, a team they defeated in the regular season. St. Xavier has more key players returning than Trinity, and it's enough to make the Tigers No. 1 in Kentucky to start the season. Finch leads the returnees; an all-state pick, he rushed for 1,555 yards and 15 TDs last season despite missing a month with an injury. He will run behind a line anchored by Harvey. New QB Brutscher is expected to step in and excel, as well. On defense, St. Xavier has rebuilding to do, but Foy up front and Hall on the back side look like all-state candidates. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/football/news/story?id=3523310

In good time Mr.XR in good time. I will say that the QB(Noe) and the running back(Swayer) look very very impressive. Good size on the lines and a LB that looks to be special as well. I know they have many more but these are just a few.

That I can not say, but as a CSAA coach I did get to see the kids going to T and they were darn good. Last season was a big year talent wise in the CSAA so I am sure X got it's usual share of studs. Good luck.

I would say that based on the number of quality kids from just the CSAA, and I mean some of the very best players from last year that are now wearing Green and white this could be a very special class. Time will tell.

Sorry Ox I got it from an X guy so I took it to be true. Glad to hear that X has so many kids out.
