Division I State Championship: St. Edward (14-1) vs Springfield (13-1)

[Turkeyboy21]

Will be a good one. That Springfield QB is a really good one. St Edwards needs to run the ball like tonight to keep the Springfield offense off the field.

And they will

 

[Turkeyboy21]

They've never faced a qb like Schondelmyer. You'll see what I'm saying next week. St Eds scored 6 points against Moeller while SHS had 28. SHS has vastly improved week to week.

You're an idiot! Refs were from Columbus and the Moeller play calling shot themselves in the foot. He!!, sloppy SHS special teams play also kept Moeller in the game.

Lol and Piqua isn’t in the gwoc and hasn’t been for years

 

[Wildcat13]

What’s funny. Eds is great and everyone knows that but they haven’t seen recievers or a passing attack like Springfield yet.

Win or lose, It's a week of Ohio River Boy. Setting up my lawn chair.

Or, in my case, keep him muted.

 

[EagleSE]

Congtrats to SHS for advancing two years in a row. Going to be a great FB game. Looking forward to a visit in Canton again.

If they would have recruited him a year earlier they could be playing for back to back titles.

He was never recruited to SHS

Springfield was impressive. A QB who can sling it and weapons who can flat out fly.

IF, the young offensive line for Springfield can hold up, Springfield wins 28-21.

 

[CFIK]

The 2022 SHS QB is more accurate than last year's QB. The SHS defense much stronger against the run than a year ago. This rematch will be closer.

Statistically they're not stronger against the run this year. Last year they gave up 84 yards a game, this year it's 107. Tonight against Moe, they gave up 245 yards rushing, last year it was 225. The D has certainly improved since losing to Fairmont, but IMHO it's still not as good as last year.

3rd drive up I-71 in last year. The first was a tough loss, the second a washout (St. Ignatius), here's hoping 3rd time is a charm. It'll be a tall order, but that's why they play the game.


GO CATS!!!!!!!

Get back to me on that one! With Enovitch gone, I like SHS's chances ..

Bell is better.

Bell is better.

How did he do last?

I agree - last year's Cats DL was stout. I am not sure if Springfield can stop their run - only thought Moe got it trouble trying to run outside due to Cats speed. If St. Ed stays between the tackles, it will be hard to stop. Cats can try to outscore them, and thought they made some good adjustments in the 2nd half against Moe to put the ball in Brown's hands (he is fast!). It should be an entertaining game - run vs. pass offenses.
Weather looks pretty good so far so that will help the Cats.

26-134

Well, last night, Marshall had 130 with 3 TDs and they still lost

 

[Wildcat97]

I love yhe "Springfield can outscore them" posts. Obviously these people have not watched Eds this year, their ball and their crazy good defense, let alone watching that in person. It hurts my heart that our rival is now the football power we used to be, but, facts are facts

We heard all of that about Moeller, who held St Edward to 2 FGs. Have you watched Springfield?

 

[TraditionNeverGraduates]

He was never recruited to SHS

I guess the OHASS transfer rule requiring sitting out the last 6 games of the year doesn't apply to Springfield and their numerous transfers?

I watched Moeller and Eds in person, there is not even a comparison. I understand the score when they played, transitive properties usually are meaningless.

I understand one of the best lines I have ever seen in 40 years and controlling team

So you never saw Springfield in person then. You're in for a shock. I hope you come to the game next week to see for yourself.

No way.

We heard this slop repeatedly last week, i.e., Moeller's O line is invincible, their run game is unstoppable, a running clock will start, a Moeller-St. Eds championship game is inevitable, yada yada. All a bunch of crap by trolls who can't stand and accept the reality of their new normal.
