  1. Calling yourself the "Premier program" is like Carson-Newman College claiming to be the premier college football program in TN by winning NAIA & D2 National Championships. They may have more national championships in the last 30 years than UT or Vanderbilt, but they are nowhere close to being as good on the field. (well maybe CN could beat the Vols this year..., but that is beside the point... LOL). Winning NAIA Championships doesn't get you in the conversation with the big boys.

    And what they don't know is the impact of Boyd losing John Hale. A good team moves on.

     

    I agree with this comment. Hale had the ability to go all the way on any play (run, screen pass, kick return, interception, etc.). He didn't get the touches to put up huge stats because they never needed him to, being so well balanced. On just a decent team with decent blocking, he would probably get 15-20 carries a game & average 150+ yards per game.

     

    I have seen BB & Grace play this year (not a fan of either). My opinion is that except for big #78 for Boyd, Grace has a bigger, more physical line. They play hard. Besides #78, BB has really talented average size linemen with motors that never stop. They work exceptionally hard on defense.

     

    Both teams have real big reasons to 'want' this game. Neither team will underestimate the other. I give the edge to Boyd because their offense is more multi-dimensional & their QB will beat you with his feet if given a chance. He is special. Would be a much closer game & might give edge to GCA with McKamy, but without him, I'm thinking Boyd wins 28-17.
