Whitwell @ Boyd Buchanan

[reaction]

Whitwell travels to The Swamp for the first time in a while for a week 1 match up.  I have no idea what they have to offer. 

[Spartan4Life]

Whitwell returns 20 of 22 starters I believe. They are pretty deep for a 1A school. It will be an interesting opening matchup.

Thanks for the info. I think the Bucs will win this one. If not, it may be a long season.

Whitwell has a pretty good team. A lot of good looking kids that run downhill. They're not your average Whitwell team. They split the jamboree tonight losing 7-0 to MC and beating SP 2-0. Their fans are very enthusiastic this year and that's great for those kids.

I've got to go with Whitwell winning this game against Boyd. I hate to say that as a D2 fan but Whitwell seems to be a tough team after tonight's performance while I hear Boyd struggled with Brainerd.

I hope you're wrong, but that is a fair pick. Hopefully the Bucs come out fired up and ready to play next Friday.

That's one reason we have a chance to win this game. Malone is no longer there so that gives us a shot. I don't see  how a guy with a what .300 win percentage is all that great? Like PP68 said, this isn't the typical Whitwell team. Stout defense and tons of Running backs that will come at you. I think Whitwell as a great chance to win this game. Look forward to the game and good luck to the Bucs. Go Big Red!

Boyd didn't have much snap in their get up last night. Looked more like kids being drug to the turnip patch than kids running to the tree on Christmas morning. I hope they can get it going, I've always respected that program.
