It has been said before, but turnovers will be the difference. If neither team has any turnovers, I say the Pirates take advantage of homefield and pull out the tough win.

Although McGlone must be slipping in his old age. His QB is in the top 20 in passing and he has a receiver in the top 20 as well.
We all know that if either team has to come out of it comfort zone and start passing there could be real trouble.
Look for a slow, grind it out, eat up the clock, 3 yards and a cloud of dust type game. Just the way I like them.
Belfry will put it in the air 3-5 times this game, more late in the game if there is a need and we are down!

I've been impressed with Elkins passing ability.. Hes been putting the ball right into the hands of the recievers.. A year or 2.. this kid will be amazing as long as he keeps working hard... Mark my word

Turn overs will be the main factor. When you get this far into it that is the main thing that wins the games. If you remember in 04 turn overs by Russell in the red zone and I believe an other one one a return and the score would have been different. Remember last year a turn over in the last minute kept Belfry from returning to the CARPET for the 3rd time. The main thing here is WHOEVER wins the turn over battle will WIN.

I am seriously debating blowing off Constitutional Law for this game!
That is how big is it people!
I probably won't be able to attend, but I want to hear the radio guys saying "these kids (from both teams) look like animals out there! They are going nuts and laying it all out!"

What concerns me about this matchup. The versatility of Clarke. If he doesn't beat you in the backfield.he will catch passes. Also Jones the Qb. He can run, doesn't pass much. But he rarely makes a mistake. Belfry will have to do a better job on special teams coverage. Can't fumble eight times like we did last year. Homefield advantage is a key with these teams. Since 1995. Russell has lost 9 out of 10 road playoff games. Belfry has only lost 4 at home in the postseason

In last year's game Brown hurt us in the first half with the passing game. You all just like us a perennial running team. but the passing game is good enough to keep the defense honest.
11-21-2006, 01:45 AM
We are going to have to be able to pound the middle with May. i think in last years matchup. He had 35 yards on 11 carries with a couple of touchdowns

Something I thought Russell got away from in the second half last year.

Belfry just got killed in the first half, then the int by Clark at the end of the game killed them even more.

How about the play when Maynard came about 900 yards out of nowhere and ran Brown down from behind. I wish i had half that speed lol

It was a great effort play by Mayard. Tremendous effort.
And a really bonehead play by Brown to let up at the 10 and then drop the ball down low where it could be stripped.
