I read every post on here about how Belfry will name the score in this game. I saw all the same comments last October before a Dawg team with no chance gave the Pirates all they wanted. This team has a better defense and more firepower then that 2014 team and I would say that Belfry is better also. If we have a bad night with alot of mistakes and turnovers then Belfry probably will run away with it but I just don't see it. At this point of the season I dont see this Belfry team being leaps and bounds better then last season and I think some Belfry posters will agree with me. Still a lot of season left and Belfry always plays their best football late in the year. I think this Bulldog team has talent and strength in places where we can take advantage of the few weaknesses this Belfry team does have if it is used properly. Belfry is and should be the favorite but I would be shocked to see a blowout type score and I say that with my red and black tinted goggles fully removed lol.

Honestly this game will come down to turnovers, penalties and if Lawrence Co can handle Belfry's DL. If Lawrence Co cannot run the ball....then they have no chance. I don't care how efficient passing they are. Must be able to move the chains via the ground game. Cabell Midland ran, ran and ran the football...and with the constant stream of turnovers by the Pirates the game got out of hand. IMO...that's the formula for giving Belfry issues.

I simply don't see Lawrence Co having the horses up front to contain the Pirates DLine
