I think something nobody has mentioned is Wayne County rushed for over 300 yards in their opener at Monroe County before injuries just killed their offensive backfield. This was going to be a run heavy team mixed with maybe 15 pass attempts per game, but injuries more than anything led to a pass happy attack in the middle of the season.
Now to answer the question I think you will see a physical and punishing style of offense that will make the most of match ups in passing game as well. Their offensive line play will be a huge key tonight.

That's information that DOESN'T show up when you look at totals (rushes, Yards) game by game and not go further (carries for player, jersey numbers in backfield, etc.).

With Wayne, saw some of the Rock footage. If there was a team for Wayne to spread out, Rock was it. Not quick and athletic by any means. But didn't spread them out as much as I thought. Turned into two teams going nose-to-nose in the trenches.

Teams that have beaten E'town have success in the air. South Warren, Bullitt Central (even with Carnell at RB) and Louisville Central have burned the Panthers deep. All three tight ends (South Warren, Bullitt Central, Louisville Central) had big days against E'town.

Henry and Glasgow (D-I running back Marquez Trigg), two run run run teams, just got waxed by E'town because they couldn't move the ball in the air and repeatedly tried to establish something on the ground and got no where.

Thus the question about Wayne. This was supposed to be a team which could go to the air if it wanted, but recent footage had shown more running. Maybe because that's what opposing defenses. But if you're an E'town team trying to prepare for what Wayne does in the passing game, it was awfully hard to get a true feel for it.

I know Wayne's gonna be nasty in a few years. Just glad E'town gets to play them NOW instead of then (when these frosh and sophs are juniors and seniors).

Even then, I do NOT think E'town is an overwhelming favorite.

If you can pass, E'town's in trouble.
And I know Wayne CAN pass, just don't know how gung-ho they are about it to do it on a full-time basis tonight, because I have my doubts their running game is gonna get much.

If Wayne decides to going back to opening it up, that bus ride home just got a lot happier and will feel a lot shorter.
