Belfry will need to dig deep this week to keep this one tight. I remember the CAK game last year when they were badly banged up and I thought they would lose and Belfry went to Knoxville and found a way to win. Belfry is substantially more banged up than that game, but the theme was young players and players who had been in the shadows making plays. Devontae Dari and Andrew Fletcher both stepped up big that game offensively.

This week it will be about who steps up on Defense, particularly on the line, and the desire the rest of the defense shows to make proper reads and not miss tackles.

The offense has to help the defense out this week. No turnovers, no taking points or big plays off the board with penalties, and keep those chains moving forward and never backward with false starts. Keep that clock rolling and defensively make JC grind out long drives.

Very tall task against a very good team.
