No doubt this will be a competitive game, but I think the difference maker will be the Bobcat defense. This unit actually fits the mode of a "vintage" Bobcat defense. Moving Hoskins to nose guard, was a very good move by the coaching staff. His size and quickness caught Hazard off guard and he made plays all night. Breathitt's linebackers flew to the ball and they were very physical. They played with a lot of energy and the rest of the unit fed off of their play. The secondary played solid, and having Sperry back in the fold really made a difference with his athleticism and physical play. This unit only gave up two touchdowns to a very talented Hazard offense. Hazard could not run between the tackles, and Breathitt made adjustments to contain the outside runs in the second half. If Bryant can manage the game, without turning the ball over, Breathitt should win this game. In a rivalry game, anything can happen, but I feel like Perry's defense has been suspect up until this point, and the team with the better defense will win this game. Breathitt wins in a close game, 28-21.
