Who wins this battle between the D-1 private CAK and the D-2 private Webb?

Lots of side stories when these 2 teams play. Players are certainly familar with each other. Sounds like Webb really gave Catholic a tough time and the Irish are pretty darn good. You know what to expect from the Spartans offensively with the wing T. The freshman RB is quick and shifty. CAK needs to get some D-Line penetration to disrupt all those pulling guards and keep the sweeps contained. I'm not sure how good the Webb defense is but CAK will need a strong performance both on the ground and in the air. Webb's ground game controls the clock, so offensively CAK needs to put some points on the board early. Last year CAK did not perform very well in this game. I expect them to handle things better this year, win or lose, and give a better effort.

I think CAK will win the game. It should be a high scoring contest. CAK has struggled with the option and wing t IN THE PAST. Webb will bring speed that CAK hasnt seen yet and their young linebackers better be on their toes.

I'm looking at the schedule results for both teams and it looks as if Webb and CAK both are not the teams they were last year. However Webb has played tougher teams than CAK has. If CAK comes out ready to go it will be a great game giving CAK the edge, but if not, things could be bad for the Warriors.

Webb looks like they're on a rough skid so i think CAK takes advantage. The Webb offense looks a lot weaker then last year and I think CAK will move the ball on the Webb D. CAK by 10

This is a very interesting game. The game last year IMO had a few factors that made it a lopsided victory for Webb. 1. The CAK QB had by far his worst game of the year, missing open receivers that he didn't miss in any other game last year. 2. Webb had 2 backs that were very, very fast. 3. CAK played with one deep safety. Several times, he was not able to get to the ball carrier and stop a big 15 yard run from becoming a long TD run. 4. CAK ran the ball very effectively against Webb but with the offense out of sync and Webb continuing to score, the run was taken away to a large extent after half time. 5. I actually think CAK was TOO "up" for this game.

 

This year appears to be different for both teams. Webb has very talented backs, but I'm not sure they have the absolute burners that they had last year. Although the QB is very solid, I'm not sure that Webb's wing T offense lends itself to him lighting it up throwing the ball. CAK has done well against the run so far but....has been off and on against stopping a running QB / option approach. CAK will have to play assignment football to stop the precision execution of Webb's wing T. CAK has a very quick defense that is built on reacting to the ball and gang tackling. Generally this is great, but the misdirection of the wing T really plays against this. Loudon's option QB was very effective at using CAK's quickness against them. If the whole D bites on the dive every play it will be a long night. It's also imperative IMO that the CAK defense stop long TD runs and hold them to manageable 10 - 20yd gains.

 

On offense, the loss of 2 senior WR's has been a bigger factor than I thought at first. Other receivers have stepped in and stepped up, but we have had alot more drops from quality receivers / athletes than we can afford. IMO, the receivers have to have their best effort and best game so far to beat a Webb team that had Catholic on the ropes. The teams that Webb has lost to are very good teams. We have to keep the score close to keep the running threat viable.

 

I admit that I'm not completely objective, but this game is winnable for CAK. However, it will take CAK's best effort to date to do it.

Webb by a couple of scores. Spartans control the ground game, and the clock. CAK hurries, when perhaps they need not, and Webb pressures mistakes. Repeat of last year. Warriors really miss Bennett. Kolinski is very good, but not the defensive player Joe was, IMO.

Fair points. FYI, unlike Bennett, Kolinsky doesn't play defense. The CAK coaching staff really tries to use separate players for each side of the ball.
