[Old School Hound]

I really like Johnson Central. They know what they do best and so does everyone else. Yet they still line up and dare you to stop them and most opponents can't. Last season they came to Campbell Field and gave the Hounds all they wanted and more. Every single time it looked like Corbin was on the verge of putting the game away, Central responded. Corbin better not take this game lightly. They need to come out and deliver the knockout punch early and not let the Eagles hang around. Those who are predicting running clocks are out of your minds. JC is a good football team, a dangerous football team.

Will the Eagles be able to run the ball against Corbin's stout defensive line? That's the defining question. I think they will enjoy a modicum of success in that regard, maybe enough, even, to put up a couple of scores. Will the Eagles be able to hold the Hounds to less than two scores in order to score a prized upset. That is probably unlikely. I look for the Hounds to score four or five times, as I think they will start opening up the offense a bit.

A score of 35 -14 in Corbin's favor seems about right to me but there could be a touchdown swing either way. If the Hounds don't allow Central much success on the ground it could get out of hand to the tune of 42-7. If, however, Central can run the ball and eat up the clock with some time-consuming drives, it could be a 28-21 type of game. I'll stick with 35-14 Corbin but if Central is going three and out on the first couple of drives, it's gonna be a long night for the Eagles.
