If West is a run first team, I like our chances. HC defense has stepped up huge over the last 4 weeks. Northeast finished with 36 yards total rushing...and that includes a 67 yard TD run (if I read the PI website right). That is crazy, especially considering the speed and talent in their back field. I think we have gotten better at making midgame adjustments, and not just at halftime. I remember in 2011, all the blowout predictions and shootout predictions. I think this game will be very similar to the Powell game. A somewhat lower scoring, hard fought, physical battle up front decided by less than 7 points when it's over. Congrats to West for making it over the Semi-final hump. We HC fans know just how heart breaking those semi-final losses are.
How is West's kicking game? I think that could be a huge factor.
