FBALL, Why do you think that Russell can beat Ashland this year? Just curious to know what has changed since last year's 61 to 7 loss to the Kitty Cats. I know the Red Devils return a lot of people, but they graduated their QB(Cooper). The Tomcats return most of their players on Defense and they only lost Trey Rogers in the backfield. Unless injuries occur during the first three games for Ashland, I don't see the Devils beating Ashland this year. Just my opinion.

I didn't say they would beat the kitty cats. Just that they have a chance. It's hard to judge a team by one game, even one as ugly as that one was. After all Russell played Ironton much tougher than Ashland sid last year.

Ashland will be a solid favorite in the game this year and should be. Russell IMO will be a much better team this year defensively I believe. More athletic up front and in the secondary. That is why I give them a chance.
