DV R19 Qtrs: Ports West (9-1) @ Nelsonville-York (9-1)

[Jesco White]

Has NY played a team as physical as West this year? How well do they match up on the lines? West brings a very physical and veteran line, physical hard runners in the backfield with a 3-yr starter at QB who can run well, throws a good ball when needed, and most importantly he rarely makes a bad decision. I know NY has a talented duo at QB and RB, but don't know much about their line.

Good luck West!!!

I think NY rights the ship and we have another instant classic 2 wks in a row.

West has a 3-headed monster running attack, to include their QB. Once you load the box, they'll burn you deep on play action. They flat out fly to the ball and explode into the offensive player. They are a very, very physical nasty team on "D", and that's a compliment. I don't know anything about NY, other than what has been said on here. I'm sure they have played tough competition but not many TEAMs play with physicality as the Senators! GO SOC!!

Agree. If this is the matchup, it is going to be one Hell of a game. Good luck to both squads, let's hope for no injuries!

Boston Field is a great venue for the fans. This one will be worth the price of admission.

I hope the D shows up like they did last night at Burg. I didn't see the stats, but I would guess they had 7-8 sacks and about 5 interceptions. If they show up like that again, it's gonna be a long night for NY's offense. Should be a great game though.

[Buckeye Backer]

It depends on what NY team shows up. We cannot make the type of mistakes we did against Athens. Multiple turnovers and stupid penalties will almost always come back to haunt you. If we can overcome the Athens loss and play like we did in weeks 1-9, then I think it will be a very good, competitive game. If not, then West will take advantage of it and make us pay dearly.

West is hard hitting and physical. They can force turnovers, and that is something that has seemed to plague NY this season in the close games they had. If West can get up early and force turnovers, their defense will take over and win the game.

[buckfan84]

NY really only had 1 close game and that was with Athens. And turnovers have not plagued the Buckeyes all season though in fairness last night they did.

[Steely Dan]

A team makes it to 9-0 and then they lose in overtime in week 10, I don't think that anything "plagued" them. Come on.

Last night's game was an anomaly in terms of turnovers for the Buckeyes versus the rest of the season.
