Just my opinion. NC has one player that has been absolutely the most dominant player in the history of NC football for one season. NC has had some great teams and always had a really solid supporting cast no matter the year. Even the last time they won the state they had a tremendous small school back who came up from Missouri, or another southern state (can't remember exactly) but he was terrific for a small school Ohio football program. But regardless, they had a solid supporting class. Had a great QB that I think played D1 baseball at Cincinnati (could be wong but he did play D1 baseball. They also had other real good players. If Ft. Frye can stop this man, they will win. Trust me. This man, even though the stats in the Ready game do not look impressive on the surface, was the difference maker. NC put him in on defense which he rarely played all season, and he made a couple huge plays. It's hard to take away from some of the other NC players but I think if you would ask them, they would also agree. They know how hard this man worked in the off-season and they are absolutely thrilled to have him. (As would I be if I were his team-mate) As far as the all-star comment, if you attend the game you will see that this team is not a group of all-stars. They do have a transfer from neighboring Newark County Schools but as far as I know, no other transfers. Someone else may know, so if you do please correct me. I do think the man came from the Watkins County Schools but came to NC in either middle school or High School. Also, I will say that the man is an absolutely great man. He is a 100 percent good dude and a great family. Humble and outstanding. If Ft Frye can stop him in every facet, including and when he plays defense, Ft Frye will win. If not, NC will win. Either way, the winner will come up against a fortified brick wall week 14.
Just to give you another incidental, the games NC lost were games that the teams were bigger and totally dominated the O-line therefore able to get to the man before he could get started. Losses include Licking Heights (D2), Johnstown (lost to Steubenville), Heath, (The man did not play) and Watkins (D2). If Ft Frye can stop the man---28-7 Ft. Frye. If they can't---35-28 NC.
