The Birds will need to try and use AC more because ball control will be more important than scoring points. The less the Bird defense is on the field the better. If AC can get even half the yards per carry he's getting right now they will make it an interesting game. If they show they can't move the ball and sustain a drive or two then it will be a long night.

I wouldn't look too deep into that Colerain score over Manual. After the Cards started out 0 and 2 you knew they were going to punish their next opponent. Cincy ST X beating Louisville ST X by 3 scores was has me worried about the Birds chances.

Actually they only beat them by 17 points. But I agree that Highlands wants to have long controled drives by AC, instead of their quick strike offense they are used to. If HHS does not get behind in the game early, it could be interesting. I got my ticket to the game this week, and can't wait for the game to start. I think nexts weeks game agianst Boone will not be much of a challenge.
