Ironton will beat Burg this year. Chalk it up.
Reid Carrico was the best player on the field last year as a sophomore. He will be the best overall player in the area next season. Couple that with Trevon Pendleton making huge strides with that program in just one year and I think its lights out for Burg in this matchup for the next 2 years.
Overestimating the Burg in pre-season. How many times has that happened?
Carrico is a great player and will be a force to be reckoned with but it's a team game. Burg will not walk into that game with out being prepared and without having talent. This may be the fastest team woodward has had in some time.
Wouldnt "Overestimating" mean picking Burg??? I think you mean "UNDER ESTIMATING".
I would consider FAST a team like Johnstown Monroe last year. Do you remember them? That team was quick. Nothing the Burg could do inside or out against their defense and JM's QB was like an oiled up banana peel when they tried to tackle him.
No doubt Burg will have a good team again. I never said that. I think Ironton will have a running game with Carrico that will control the clock and Burg will have a hard time stopping it.
The key to beating Burg in the few times its happened in recent years has been to keep Burg's offence on the sideline and wear out Burg's defense.
I think Ironton will have the horses on offense to potentially do that this year. JMO. No reason to get your panties in a wad lol.
