I do have to say to my fellow Burg fans…Week 1 vs Ironton is over with and done. Ironton won and it was a heck of a game but no need to continue to argue/dwell on itSo let’s move to week 2 and focus on this very good team out

Hopefully Burg can control the pace using their run game.

Found out talking to some of the McNich folks during the game last year; was shocked as well. I believe that last year’s original starter was a junior so he should be back.TomUnessa wrote: Fri Aug 25, 2023 2:23 pmI agree definitely get the run game established early.

Hopefully Burg can control the pace using their run game.. Kid played a heckuva game and made some great plays as a sophomore stepping in to start
McNich would be happy with a shootout, Burg needs to avoid that. Use the run game to pound them and wear the D down. Hope they make a few mistakes on offense.

Hope so. Nervous about this one. McNich’s D is not as tough as Ironton (not even close), but they can throw the ball around. Their sophomore QB tore Burg up last year.Jeaux Burreaux wrote: Fri Aug 25, 2023 4:07 pm Good luck Pirates. I see them getting the win by abt 6

Re: WK 2: Burg vs McNichols
Agree.
The sweep simply doesn’t work against teams with speed. Just throw that play away.
