[Hoot Gibson]

We know the run game will be hitting on all cylinders. The big question will be can the DB's keep up with the 8-10 man WR rotation Highlands runs, will JC have enough game experience to defend hurry up offense that you have to defend pass and run, can they pressure QB, can the stop the long plays for quick scores? And for Highlands, can they slow up JC's run game, can they force them into pass game to catch up, can they win the battle of special teams? This is the yawner part of season for fans of both teams and gets us looking forward to playoffs.

Surely, by now, the answer to the question in bold has been answered for you. If JC passes against Highlands, it will not be because Highlands forces them to pass. It has not yet happened, so it is reasonable to assume that it will not happen this year either. Mueller does not run the ball in obvious running situations, such as sitting on top of a 70-0 lead, and Matney does not necessarily pass the ball in obvious passing situations.
