After watching the KCD/Campbellsville game film I have a more educated prediction. My thoughts are KCD has some really good athletes and they do a good job at getting their playmakers into space. I think they might be able to break a big play or 2 simply because of their athleticism.

The problems that they are going to run into against Raceland will start up front. I think they will have a lot of problems keeping the Raceland defensive front out of the backfield and will force the QB to force plays under pressure he isn’t used to making.

Another thing I think they will struggle with is taking the blows Raceland will deliver for 4 quarters. I’ve often heard Coach Salmons say that a big part of his philosophy is to deliver a lot of body shots for 4 quarters to wear a team down before going for a haymaker.

I’m not sure KCD or any of the teams remaining for that matter have faced a team that will come at you and attack for 4 quarters straight with an intent to beat you down. Last week against Hazard the score was 28-0 and they had the ball on the goal line but the Raceland defense was still playing like preventing them from scoring was a pivotal play in winning even though the game was well decided.

That edge and killer instinct is what I think separates Raceland from the rest of the remaining field. As for this week. I think this game will be similar to when we played NCC. KCD will make Raceland earn what they get but as the game gets late Raceland will do what they do best and run over them after they get wore down.
