Unless I am really missing something I can't see how Christian County could win this game except for a complete breakdown on Boyle's part.

Christian County (6-3) doesn't score a lot of points (18.2 ppg) and gives up 15.8 ppg. against a modest schedule. According to the game stats and what video I could find, they appear to be pretty one dimensional and don't really pose much of a threat throwing the football. They have thrown for 100 yards just twice on the season and have had games of 0 yards and 12 yards. By losing three times this season and being in tight games in most of their six wins it doesn't appear that they don't want to throw, it's just that they can't throw. Defensively, they have given up at least 150 yards rushing four times this season including 156 to winless Ohio County and at least 225 yards twice including 247 to a 3-6 PRP team who they only beat 21-14.

Boyle County (9-0) on the other hand comes in scoring 47 points per game and averaging 319 yards on the ground and 119 yards passing per game. Tilted towards the run, but plenty of ability in the passing game. Although Boyle has faced tougher schedules than this seasons, I would say that Lexington Catholic, whom Boyle beat 21-13, would be favored over anyone Christian County has played except for maybe Oakland. Defensively, Boyle County has been nearly impossible to run on this season, giving up just 46 yards per game. The front four do such a good job of controlling the line of scrimmage and penetrating the backfield that the linebackers have free reign to move to the ball usually untouched. When trying to pass, opposing QBs are usually running for their life and rarely get set up in the pocket.

Prediction: Rees MacShara runs for 200+, Boone Goldsmith throws for a hundred more, Lamar Dawson makes 14 tackles, and Boyle County rolls 44-13.

GO REBELS!! :1:
