Catholic will not win the LOS against CAL. I doubt they gave won at the LOS all year but I do think they have the athletes to beat CAL.

Defensively, Catholic is not going to play head up against any one They don't have the size up front. They will shoot the gaps and linebackers will fill quickly. That is what they do. They are well coached and the front 7 runs to the ball. They have 2 undersized but very good linebackers. Catholic DL will get washed out at times, but they get off blocks quickly and as noted above the front 7 all run to the ball.

Offensively, same thing. They do not move people off the ball. They shield the DL long enough for the ball carrier to find a crease. The OL will widen their splits to create running lanes. Catholic has a lot of speed on offense and can stress the edges of a defense.

CAL is the team to beat in 4A. I think Catholic, Belfry and Union all have a punchers chance to beat Cal. They each bring something different to the table in terms of offensive scheme.

To beat CAL, a team needs to limit #35, Cotton. He will be the best player on the field - both offensively and defensively. How you limit him, I have no idea but playing this level of competition is not new for Catholic.
