The Warriors are young and inexperienced at multiple key positions.  They are clearly the underdog going into this district matchup, but they will fight hard to make it a game.

so was the Sr pool that heavy last year

kinda hard to gage that underdog thing.....the Irish let not a very good Baylor team push us around a little and we won against a not so good Trinity Academy team.....Offense looked good tho

Trust me--CAK is definitely the underdog in this match-up.

CAK's opening loss to Christ School of Asheville was largely due to a -3 turnover ratio, with all 3 of CAK's turnovers coming inside or very close to the red zone, so they left several points on the ground.

Last week, though, the Warriors seemed to regress against a good but probably not great, but well coached and highly motivated, Greenback team.  Legitimate final score should have been 35-7 (though CAK's TD came against Greenback's 2's).  One of Greenback's scores should have been waved off--ref admitted to coaches afterwards he blew an inadvertent whistle after Greenback snapped the ball while chains were being moved but before ref started clock (all players stopped at the whistle except the receiver who kept running and QB threw to him).  GB fans might complain that a couple of other TD's were "called back" due to penalties--and they were indeed, but the holding was clear in both cases and contributed to the breakaway runs.  However, CAK played horribly and got the whipping that comes from sloppy, uninspired play.

The Warriors did lose several key seniors from last year's team.  This year they have plenty of good skill players, but right now the OL is very young and inexperienced, and an offense can't be any better than its OL no matter how good its skill players are.  One senior on OL, two juniors (one of whom has never played OL before), one sophomore and one freshman round out the starting OL.  The senior is the only returning starting from last year's OL. The OL is struggling mightily right now with both run and pass blocking.

On D, the coaches are struggling to find the right mix of personnel for the secondary.  Some guys are playing well against the pass but not against the run and vice versa.

It will be a big challenge for the Warriors as they make their first ever visit to ND.

Where's the best place(s) to get a bite to eat near the ND campus?

Sounds good.  By the end of the week my cholesterol might be getting a little low; sounds like that place will fix me up and get my cholesterol back up in no time!  Thanks for the info.

If you see me Friday night, please say hello.  I'll be the old fart in royal blue.

    • We could sure use some math teachers country wide. Ever go into a store or restaurant and the bill comes to $9.97 and you give them a ten dollar bill and 2 pennies because you wanted a nickle back and then the meltdown starts and the next thing two more people have to come and help figure it out and the place comes to a complete halt. I see this everyday and it's a sad representation of all these schools allowing these kids out the door to get shortchanged the rest of their life. 
    • I like the Pirates chances. I’ll be there as soon as work allows.
    • Stars, I heard we were searching far and wide for some math teachers. Any chance their kids bench press or 40 times are getting checked? LOL I’ve heard good things from 825.  
    • I think it was expected. “Bad” luck I guess to get a couple difference maker QBs in the same class. I thought the decision was made a little early myself, but they were struggling offensively last year.  I assume the running quarterback alco had last year would be a senior this fall, and the transfer would start the following two years in addition to getting a ton of playing time this year. Maybe he waits two yrs, but I doubt it. The kid is good. So is the one who stayed.
    • I'm from Cloudland and we've never played a sectional game.  We need to win tomorrow night to avoid that bus ride.  Us and north greene can play with you guys so I'm expecting good games whoever the matchup is.
