East 32 Notre Dame 26

[Jason Vorhees]

I would agree that the best back in the league was Kayser. The numbers in the league and out of the league speaks for itself. I have only seen him play a couple of times but, every time that I have watched him play, he has rushed for over 200 yards. Against Oak Hill this year, Kayser had 29 carries for 269 yards and 1 touchdown. Just some food for thought, Kayser put those numbers up against Oak Hill and Brown from East had 21 carries for 90 yards and didn't have a rushing touchdown against the Oaks' D.

Yea Kaysers a better running back then Brown.

All the back and forth and you choose that, how come...?

All the back and forth and you choose that, how

Ijs, Brown carries the ball on an avg of maybe 9 times a game(mainly running sideways or naked dives at a disadvantage to his abilities) while Kayser probably avg around 20 plus carriers per game (95% out in space, on the edge to his strengths with lead blockers and two pulling guards). I call that great coaching by Ashley on using his players to their strengths and putting them in the best situation to be successful every single play. He never puts his backs at a disadvantage. I'd say this, if you put Brown in the offense ND runs and Kayser in the Offense East runs and switch the amount of attempts they have. It would be a completely different story. Both are good players, I just think one gets more opportunities than the other and in way better situations. Correct if I'm wrong please.

Also east throws the ball just as much as they run

You're not wrong, but no one is saying Akia Brown Jr. is a bad player, at all. I was just curious why you chose that out of everything that is being talked about.

I for one like to watch Akia, he doesn't jaw around, he just does his own thing and lets his talent show on the field. That's the kind of player you want. I agree on switching rolls, although I think if you truly want to be successful, they need Akia to get some more touches.

This is a tough game to pick a winner for me both very good teams. My eagles stayed competitive with both teams gave up 4 big plays to ND that cost us. Kayser is a stud RB best I've seen this year teams plan all week how to stop him and he still can keep the defense beat down then the big plays start to happen. Kayser and Johnson are gonna have ND picking up yards on the ground East will need to stop them when it counts and keep big gain plays at a minimum. Akia is a fantastic athlete good fast multi purpose back who can make big plays running or catching the ball. I think this game comes down to Drew Lowe and East QB advantage he is good QB and if East passing game is on big passing plays are gonna happen if they go for TDs the ND defense will feel the stress and secondary may get discouraged. Not sure who wins but I think East has the advantage they won't be able to stop Kayser from gaining yards just need to keep him out of the end zone.

Not trying to cause any arguments but I disagree with the competitive game. Yes ND and Eastern was a very competitive game and it could have went either way, but in no way shape or form was the East game against Eastern competitive. East JV was in the fourth quarter and played most of it. They also came in while East was on like the 30 yard line. The game could have been way worse then 36-14 if they were to stay in. If East stops Kayser they will win by a land slide, if they don't they will still win by two possessions just like last year where he had the game of his career with 250 yards against East.

Listen East is a good team they are but Eastern has only took 1 ass whipping this year and it was last week. Its clear to me as well as everyone on here u think East is as good as a burg, waverly, They are a good divison 7 school and the soc1 is not real competitive right now so don't set yourself for heartbreak thinking more of what it is. 9-0 or 10-0 is great it really is best win right now is a 4-5 Oak Hill team that has played a brutal schedule for a team in our league that's why East is undeafted and not ranked #1 cause who they have played. I'm not an East hater I myself am a Akia Brown fan I like the way he plays football and basketball and I will root for any soc team in the playoffs but I do realize who has played quality opponents and who has not.

I don't compare East to Burg nor Waverly and I do realize that they haven't played a real tough schedule. All I said was the Eastern game wasn't a competitive game. East Varsity stays in the whole game the score would be in the 50s. That's a fact

It's not a fact, it's simply your opinion. If you give an opinion and follow it up with "that's a fact" it means absolutely nothing. Maybe they would've hit 50 maybe they would've lost 2-3 starters because they left them in. Maybe they fumble it away allowing Eastern to score short field touchdown. Those are all things that could've happened had East varsity been left in for the 4th quarter. You say it's possible game could've been worse then the score had East left their starters in for the entire game. That's all. Saying East hasn't played "a real tough schedule" is the ultimate understatement of the year. I know it sounds better to put it that way but we can all agree you including East has played possibly the easiest schedule of any team with a winning record especially a team that is undefeated.

East has to stop the run. If they do, they should win handedly. If they don't, it may very well come down to who scores last and can make a big play at the end of the game. One thing for sure, East has to develop an XP kicking game for the playoffs. You cannot fail to convert on XPs and win consistently. Yes, they have been relatively successful going for two, but you cannot rely on that. Especially in the playoffs. Let's Go Blue!

[art_vandelay]

According to Eitel and drew Pasteur, Notre Dame almost has to win to make playoffs after last night's results. If they win, they a #3 seed and get a home game. East also playing for the #3 seed and home game with a win, and on the road if they lose.*

I agree, it'll be difficult for Notre Dame to win if their running game can't get going. You have to pass the ball more during the season to make it effective, it's difficult for a kid to start throwing a ball who hasn't but maybe 9-10 times all season.

East's XP kicker and kickoff is going to hurt bad. They put teams in too good of field position from the get go and XP's are some what of a joke. Oak Hill never kicked the ball and just went for 2 the entire time. It's hard to believe not one kid has practiced kicking. Straight on kicking isn't effective in my opinion.

Will Scott be a difference maker for East after only returning for 1 game? Not sure about it.

Just about 6 hours until kickoff to see if Notre Dame can stop East, or will this be a back and forth contest?
Either way I hope the kids let the playing do the talking and personal fouls are left in the locker room. I'd love to just see a great football game between the two.

I noticed that too, they didn't get any help from Grove City Christian or Eastern...

My final prediction: Team with the most points at the end of the game will prevail!!!! East could win by a lot, ND could win by a lot. Or it could be a good old fashioned slobber knocker!!

[NewEra]

I think East has 2 outcomes resulting in this game, they either go to Danville or host Danville, with either or potentially being bad news for the Tartans.

[Mailman]

ND 7
East 0
Kayser from 70 on first play.

ND 7
East 6
Brown with 85 yard TD catch on first play
2 point no good
