Pretty quiet for a game between two outstanding programs. DeSales has played a tough schedule and Steubenville has been hit with a bunch of injuries. Anyone have thoughts on this game?
I'm liking DeSales in this onePretty quiet for a game between two outstanding programs. DeSales has played a tough schedule and Steubenville has been hit with a bunch of out of State ? cans at home. Anyone have thoughts on this game?
remains to be seen but rumors is he might be back sometime in October. Not thinking this early though. Will try and get a update.I'm pretty sure that Thompson is out still and most likely the season.
They own the series record versus DeSales and the games in Big Red Stadium . Make no mistake this is a rivalry game and the home team has a big advantage. As Bad as DeSales is if Thompson doesn't get hurt they could be 5-1 or 6-0 he is a difference maker on both sides of the ball.This is a bad desales team. But Big Red is a shell of themselves. Plus there’s a mental block when they play a ccl team. Desales wins big
No they wouldn’t. This is a bad desales team. Doesn’t tackle at all.They own the series record versus DeSales and the games in Big Red Stadium .

I've seen them 4-5 times and you seen them once they don't tackle as well as they should. But that didn't cost them in most their losses. . You won 31-20 and your team has given up 60+ Points this year . I'll leave it at that. I'm sure your hoping they don't some how make the playoffs and have JT back at even 80% . Points given up DeSales 110 18 ppg Hartley Points given up 176 29 ppg LOLNo they wouldn’t. This is a bad desales team. Doesn’t tackle at all.
I don’t care about hartley or desales. I’m just saying this Is a bad desales team. If you can’t see that you are a parent or relative.I've seen them 4-5 times and you seen them once they don't tackle as well as they should. But that didn't cost them in most their losses. .

They own the series against DeSales and Watterson and lost 2 state title games to Hartley on field goals as the clock expired. I wouldn’t call that a mental block against essentially a a two team conference.This is a bad desales team. But Big Red is a shell of themselves.

Sort of like Steubenville’s 6-41-3 all time record against the Massillon Tigers.Maple City…. Why do you troll big red posts? Where you on a team that was spanked by The Big Red… you got something very personal going on. Or you’re just a typical hater of great programs. Either way you really know nothing about whatever it is you talk about.

to be expected tho. Desales has had a distinctive trend of following one good year with average or below average years.
I think DeSales will be the best team we play in the regular season. Big Red has literally been decimated with injuries. I think only 2-3 seniors are major contributors. DeSales is battle tested and their record is not an indication of how good they are. When The Big Red won the D4 title game in 2005 beating DeSales, DeSales entered the playoffs at 6-4 ending up at 10-5. Big Red is not close to the same team that started the season. They have gone deep into depth chart at TB, TE, C, WR, LB and DB. All that considering many of those spots were held by sophs and Jr’s. Getting a win in this game would be huge for Big Red.

They are a solid team that plays one of the toughest D3 schedules. Desales definitely needs this win bad to make the playoffsFirst and foremost this is not a bad DeSales squad. Word on the street is they're also missing a starting DB/WR which is obviously big. JT would be a big difference as well.
Even without those two you're talking about a team that has 4 losses to 4 REALLY darn good teams.
If Steuby is as depleted as it sounds, it might be a pretty good game. DeSales is really darn good and if they can finish drives and make some plays to get in the endzone. They can't even think about a field goals with the special teams unit they have.
I’d rather have 4 state titles against the entire state in multiple divisions 2,3 and 4, than simply a great record against 1 team you dominated 45 years ago. What’s sad for you is you would too. You’d give up all 41 of those wins for just 1 single state playoff title….. and even a couple more (if you had them) to forget that the last meeting where The Big Red ran the clock on you! Maybe that 53 year drought will end someday….. but not this year.Sort of like Steubenville’s 6-41-3 all time record against the Massillon Tigers.
Unfortunately, they’re not the same team that played against Liberty. You can slice it any way that you want to, but the guys that they’ve lost provided leadership and Friday night experience. 2 intangibles that you just can’t replace in the middle of a season. And the sloppy football that they’ve played over the past few weeks has been a reflection of that. With Desales on the outside looking in right now, this is essentially a playoff game for them. If Big Red doesn’t clean up their play then they could be in for a long night.I watched the Steubenville/Olentangy Liberty film and a man was I impressed with the Big Red. They lined up perfect and made sure tackles almost all game. They looked good, but I did hear that the injury bug has been very unkind to them.
Good luck to both teams, I respect the heck out of both of them.

Here is thought the 6-41-3 was meant to add up to 50 which will be how many years next year Massillon has gone without an on field state championship. ???Sort of like Steubenville’s 6-41-3 all time record against the Massillon Tigers.
