CHARGERFAN Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 After the opening week loss to Munford, Covington meets it’s other in-county rival this week as Brighton comes to town. I would think that the Chargers will be favored at home, but what do y’all think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allthetalk Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 Kirby rights the ship this week. Bounces back big at home vs. Brighton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHARGERFAN Posted August 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 (edited) Massey matchup tool predicts Covington 42 Brighton 14 It’s early in the season and I’m not sure Massey is right on this. I expect a closer game than that. Edited August 22, 2023 by CHARGERFAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at Sonny Moore power rankings: Covington 112.61 Brighton 91.68 The difference is 21 plus 2 points for Covington home field advantage. That makes the spread 23 points. Slightly lower than Massey’s 28 points. Let’s see if either one gets close to the actual score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManOfMillions Posted August 23, 2023 Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 I think Covington wins in a very convincing way this Friday. I just can not see Kirby letting his boys get beat again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHARGERFAN Posted August 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2023 Final score Covington 35 Brighton 27 Nobody told Brighton they should lay down and get trounced, so they didn’t. The Brighton offense looked good in the first half. Covington could not stop them. The old question is - is Brighton’s offense that good, or is Covington’s defense not very good. I’ll wait to answer that question after Covington visits Dyersburg next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHARGERFAN Posted August 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2023 Just a wrap-up on this game. I wanted to share some stats: Covington did what I expect a JR Kirby team to do, that is, run the ball: Covington Rushing 323 yards (Smith 244) 4 TD’s Passing 4 of 9 for 70 yards 1 TD Brighton Rushing 19 rushes for 70 yards Passing 13 of 27 for 222 yards 1 INT These stats show us something about the Covington defense too. The Charger defense against the run is pretty solid, but our pass defense needs to improve a lot. We will see what the coaching staff can do to help that happen as the season goes along.
