According to both fan bases, both teams are improved from last year. Since it was a 19-16 game in 17, I'm expecting a close one here, as well. Mayfield, unlike years past, have given up more big plays than I can remember in a long time, but, to there credit, have always bounced back with a bang and once they start scoring on you, they're hard to stop. It's hard to keep up. I do think this Corbin team is the most capable team Mayfield has played that may can go score for score with them and have the depth to maintain it for 4 quarters. For some reason, Mayfield's defense always settles down in the 2nd half and plays much better. I give the coaching staff credit for making necessary adjustments at the break. The consistent with them is they're going to constantly attack on offense, spread you out and keep you guessing and for those that say Mayfield is a short pass team, I'm afraid you may be thinking of past Mayfield squads, because this team consistently hits the mid range(10-20 yards) to long passes(20+ yards) and there QB has yet to throw a pick this season. From Corbin's side of things, Estep best weapon may be his legs. While he's got a strong and accurate arm, the Cards must worry about him tucking and running for big gains when the pocket breaks down. This could be a big factor in the outcome. Mayfield's front 7 will have to play sound and make tackles on 1st or 2nd contact and hold there own vs the Hounds OL or it could be a long night. Overall, I like Corbins D and the OL vs the Cards DL and I like Mayfield's O running or passing and the athletes in the skill positions.. In the end, I think both teams find some success and make plays to keep things close, but, I'll take Mayfield making one more big play down the stretch 34-31
