It's hard to duplicate how big and physical Ironton was. If Ashland Blazer Plans on wearing Russell down it will be by tempo, not brute force.

One thing in Russell's defense is that was the first they had been tested this year. After a bye in week one they just went through the motions with the starters basically playing a half against Greenup County. I think The Ironton game will do them some good. Yes they were gassed but they got a look at some different people under fire. I think we will see some changes on defense with some younger kids getting some meaningful reps to give those offensive starters a blow.

We got to look at the spread and who could be the recievers. Hayse, Huffine, Howard and Cathey all have good hands and can make plays.

This game will be decided by both defenses. Unfortunately I think Asland Blazer has the better defense.
