just a little more info 52 our backs are not only big and strong and fast(klay caught and tackled one of Gallias speedy recievers from ten yards from behind in 35 yrds but he has carried tacklers 15 yrd after contact so it is not your typical run attack.If you are to be sucessful on defense you must try to stop the backs at the line of scrimage if they get into the linebackers they do have the ability to take it the distance.yes our offensive and defensive lines are big and strong and quik for thier size. just look at our running game as the hand off being a short pass. i understand your team is ballanced on the offensive side of the ball and both teams are great the game just needs to be played on the field by the young men and the better team will prevail.....

Football Fanatic,

I think you have a good point and I think that will tell how the game goes. If our d-line does not slow up Arthur and the other back, then it will be up to the LBs to take them down. And Eaton cannot afford to have the backs drag tacklers for 3 or 4 yards. If that happens it will be tough for Eaton... I am hoping Eaton scores early and often to make Jackson go to the pass more.. But I have a feeling Jackson will stick to the run no matter what. That is their strength... I agree, both teams are great and both should be proud regardless of the outcome.

Wow! Park Ave. Field looks like a throwback to the 1950's. No way should they be aloud to host a playoff game there. Attrocity!

I believe we are truly testing the "anywhere" on this one. Run the cows off of the field and prepare for an invasion! The Ironmen are headed westward!

SWLBFFOTBALLFAN.........NO PROBLEM ....ONE THING YOU WILL LEARN IS THE IRONMEN WILL NOT BACK DOWN FROM NO ONE..... :122246 :122246

[ready 2 score]

**I really think Jackson will have a time running the ball with all those feathers laying on the ground**

[Inky099]

They serve a mean hamburger, brats and pork BBQ. Everything is really good. Be careful on your trip to Eaton. See ya there. Go Eagles

[SWBL]

We can't run the cows off the field yet, we haven't played "Cow Pie Bingo" yet. I ain't kidding either......

Go Eagles!

Jackson could run the ball and score on some small colleges......seriously. The teams overall physical STRENGTH is what sets them apart. After a very short break after the last game last year, they lived in the weight/conditioning center. Except for a broken hand bone (still playing) and an ACL (still playing) the entire team is healthy and injury free. Opposing defensive lineman get pancaked quite routinely then the LB's and DB's just bounce off our backs. Some teams hang around until halftime, but then it gets pretty nasty in the trenches. Jackson 42-14.
GO MIGHTY IRONMEN!!!

[footballfanatic1]

INKY099 sounds good really makes me hungry.....could you fix me 2 eagle burgers with mayo and ketchup....they say it tastes like chicken man i can't wait for some good food and football... go red....

Yodiak2, status on how much Winchester will play is uncertain, but he is definitely going to give it a shot. So we'll take it from there.

As far as Eaton's physicality, It's not that I believe they're going to want to play two hand touch or something. I've seen them play and they'll definitely hit you and let you know it. I just think its two different types of physical. Offensively and defensively, our kids bring it every play from every spot on the field. Eaton's secondary is the only place im questioning physicality. Another thing i question about is how French takes being hit a few times. His line has done a very good job of protecting him all season long and the style of offense has played a big factor as well, but this defense French will see tomorrow night is very complex to read and predetermine throws against. I'm not saying he's not going to get up every time he gets touched, but I'm wondering if he gets even a little bit rattled.


swblfootballfan, I see Jackson putting up 33 points for a few reasons. Offensively, we're going to play power football up front, Eaton blitzes quite a bit and to stop our running attack Eaton will have to put no fewer than 8 in the box. When this happens, this leaves the defense vulnerable in the secondary if Arthur or Ervin are to break a few tackles. The Jackson offense is good for a big play at any given time with Arthur in the backfield. I think maybe a turnover will set up a score for us and possibly a big special teams play. You gotta remember here, 33 points is only 5 Touchdowns. If Eaton puts up a bunch of points, lets say 28, that gives our offense a lot of time on the field as well. Now obviously, this isn't set in stone because I have absolutely zero control on the outcome of this game. If i did, I wouldn't be travelling 3 hours tomorrow night.
It's just a somewhat educated prediction.

[footballfanatic1]

i was just thinking this game kind of reminds me of the BUCKEYES game agianst the mighty Ducks of Oregon last year in the rose bowl....howed that turn out??????? GOOD LUCK TO BOTH TEAMS....
