I agree Ironton needs a bit more "UMMPH" To put up another state title run. Theyve got a tough schedule left and staying healthy against the likes of Plain City Jonathon Alder and Cloumbus Hartley, and Jackson will prove vital... Lutz kept 2 major players out and rotated in some young backs that got some touches, just to not give away too much scouting to alder for next week, and whomever else is watching!!!
Tyler Hager, another leading fullback was kept out due to late game cramping, and i know Lutz has a specialist working on him for that conditioning element. They have 3 young backs with great size and speed that are explosive they havent used much of the season, and let get a "few touches" and each gained well over 7 yards each per carry last night....
As the season moves on, I bet they will be rotated in and out more, and if they stay healthy I hope this is the "ummph" needed.
Also, did you notice that wilkes, just kinda let warner have the spotlight and do the work? Kinda nice to go up against an undefeated team, complete 3 passes out of three, give that quarterback the confidence with his receivers, and to take one to the house himself over 30yards for six points. Waginger is gaining confidence, and boy oh boy has this team come a long way since the second half against chili........
Each week another player comes out of nowhere to have a huge game for them... It is their best performance as a tiger each time too, but in the scheme of things, its not a one pony show. That huge effort of someone stepping up each week, just solidifies the unit, makes them stronger, and brings a confidence to a squad that hasnt had this much skill since we last wore the big hat... one game at a time, without injuries... As i said, we have huge games coming up, and we will need everyone in the game healthy and ready to play and come out of the game healthy, if we do that, win or not... we will show up.. I think worse case scenario would be 8-2 and a home field opener for post season.. but i wouldnt be surprised if the tigers keep rolling, and its always one game at a time.. I know the players have that mentality, and as fans we get excited and look to the what if's of games to come.. You can only live in the moment of NOW!!!...
If we happen to lose a game or two, so be it.. we will still show up.. The region is loaded and we will have a battle to get out of it. If we do, there are some great teams like Kenton(yes they are back with a quarteback named mauk... they have one loss to strong Clinton Massie... Speaking of strong teams in the division, clinton massie is there, kettering alter, hartley, coshocton, alder, portsmouth west, elyria catholic, amanda etc... soooo....good job tigers, and good luck gallia.. fun to have the evening off each friday(gotta love my boss letting me change my schedule around for a high school football game in OHIO, all the way down here in florida..)..
ALSO, DID ANYONE ELSE HAVE TROUBLE WITH THE GAME WEBCAST ON YOUR COMPUTER, BUT NOT ON THE IHEART IPHONE APP? i LIKE TO LISTEN ON THE COMPUTER SO I CAN TEXT TO A FRIEND ON THE SIDELINES OF THE GAME, BUT THE COMPUTER CONNECTION WAS NOT EXISTENT, AND I HAD TO RELY ON THE PHONE APP.. THANK GOODNESS FOR TECHNOLOGY....

WHAT? YOUR CRAZY!! Wilks didn't let anyone else do all of the work he moved the ball alot.(look at the stats) And Both Warner and Wilks did great last year too. So for the comment " Each week another player comes out of nowhere to have a huge game for them" Well this hasn't been the first for either of them thank you. They (the whole team) have alot of respect for each other and play as a team. And that's what it takes.

It Was Horrible! Maybe we should schedule schools we can beat every week? Reality,this is a team from a division below us. Almost forgot what playoff football teams look like.

Anyone think we make the playoffs?

IMO that is the most ignorant, fair weather fan post Ive ever read. If you really feel that way, why do you say "we" when referring to the Blue Devils? WE have so many loyal fans who will be in Logan next week that WE dont need so- called "fans" who can't wait to be negative the first time things dont go their way.

Anyone who thinks a DIII team should beat every DIV team simply because they are "below us" is the ignorant part. You must not be from around these parts, or perhaps you've never been to the Tank and seen all those playoff and state championship banners.

And your stupid remark about forgetting what a playoff team looks like is bashing our kids who have worked so hard and sacrificed so much to have to read blather like that.

And to quote a former NFL coach, "Playoffs? You're talking playoffs?" We have five very difficult league games to play; two of them at Logan and Warren and you're criticizing our coaches and kids about the playoffs? The focus has to be entirely on one game....Logan next week. If we dont win that one, the SEOAL may be out of our grasp, and teams are remembered more for league championships than making the playoffs, unless that playoff berth results in a deep run like 1999.

You're entitled to your opinion, but I believe most real Blue Devil fans agree with me and we'll be in Logan rooting our fool heads off for these kids. I, for one, appreciate the commitment, effort, hard work, and sacrifice they continue to make.

Good Post, looks like the Devils are having a great season! Good Luck guys!
