Alcoa vs. CAK

[Coalfieldfball]

Obviously all the hype in AA football this year is about Alcoa. With players like Lindsey and Warren this hype is well-deserved. Keeping in mind that Alcoa is arguably the best team in the state regardless of class or division, I have compiled a list of reasons why CAK could potentially upset Alcoa Week 2:

 

Reason 1: Alcoa is used to playing teams with alot of speed, and Alcoa's defense is well adjusted to this with their own mad crazy speed. Against CAK week 2 Alcoa's speed will hurt them. Alcoa isn't used to playing teams as slow as CAK and this will cause over pursuit and misjudgment by Alcoa's defense especially if the field is wet. In most high school football games speed kills, and CAK vs. Alcoa will be no exception to this trend; unfortunately for Alcoa the team with speed in this matchup will suffer for it.

 

Reason 2: Alcoa's matchup against CAK comes between two huge rivalry games, Maryville and Fulton. Because CAK is still a new and small program it would be EASY for the nados to overlook the warriors and think on to the week ahead. This underestimation coupled with CAK's stinging pass attack could spell disaster for Alcoa.

 

Reason 3: CAK's QB Richard Harb has all the skills a solid passing D-1 recruited QB should have. He's got quick feet, good height, great field vision, and an arm that could knock out a buffalo throwing acorns. This guy puts the ball where he wants it when he wants it. Harb's skills combined with his veteran receiving core could put up 3000yds passing this season. Even with Alcoa's nasty fast DB's the Harbster could spell trouble for the nados.

A. Alcoa is 2A

B. Alcoa whatever they want the score to be - CAK whatever Alcoa wants them to score

Definately no upset here even if alcoa overlooks cak i think alcoa would still beat them by whatever they wanted to. I have seen cak play against boyd in '03 in the semis and no alcoa will dominate.

any game COULD be an upset. That being said, I wouldn't give CAK a very likely chance. CAK just doesn't have good enough players to match up all over the field, but they might score a couple of TDs.

CAK is not playing Oakdale and sunbright anymore besides Wartburg and Oliver Springs they might win one more 2 2A game.

Just my opinion and you know what opinions are like everybody has one.

CAK has absolutely no one that could stop Dustin Lindsey, Brandon Warren, Joei Fiegler, Chris Shiverdecker, Logan Love, Kyrus Lanxter, or Brian Sommer on offense. Dustin Lindsey and Chris Shiverdecker could probably score on the ground whenever they wanted, and if CAK is so slow than there is no way the could stop the Fiegler to Warren, Lanxter, and Sommer connection; they're all too fast.

ur joking CAK will get demolished. Ill bet the world it will be a blow out and Alcoa will have there players out by halftime. A passing attack doesnt mean crap if ur recievers cant get open against superior atheletes or even get the ball out before getting killed by the pass rush. On top of that No player on the team will be able to tackle Dustin lindsey. The guy is 210 and probably bigger then ever one of CAKs linemen

[EastTNGuru]

I hear that Shiverdecker may have trouble getting eligible to play this fall?
