Anyone who thinks Trinity will win this game "easily" is either nuts or does not know SLC football. This will be a battle from start to finish and either team can win. I suspect both teams will have their chances to win, just like the 4 previous games we have played. Whatever has happened previously in the season really doesn't matter. Trinity and SLC tend to bring out the best in each other.

I think in the end Trinity pulls away, maybe by as much as 20, but that in no way means it'll be easy.

In voting, I'll take ET by 3, but rather see SLC pull off the win.

Man, sure wish I could see this one.

Going with a toss up but in my pick'em I will be forced to choose so I have to go with...........

Don't know much about SLC but I saw ET up close and personnel. SLC will have to win the battle of the trenches to even compete. ET welcomes the 7 man fronts. There OL is big, fast and athletic and gets to the 2nd tier with no problem. Wilson is one of the best at reading his block, swift enough to run away from tackles to run buck wild... NS was able to move the football so I don't think SLC will have any problems there. The only issue is stopping the ground and pound of ET to get the ball enough to out score them....

SLC usually doesn't win the LOS against ET, but we usually are able to hold our own enough to force ET to drive the length of the field. They tend to get lots of yards between the 20's, but then have had some difficulty getting TD's and had to settle for FGs. Our defense this year is pretty young, but I would expect they will run a similar "bend don't break scheme" until ET gets to the red zone.

The Dragon offense will present some matchup problems for ET. Our top 3 RB's start with two playing slot receivers in our traditional spread. They can shift RB and slots interchangeably in a hurry up mode reducing the defense's ability to substitute freely. We will likely use the pass to spread out the ET defense and to open up some running lanes. If the game is close, and historically it is, SLC has an advantage in the kicking game.

Most of the state thinks ET will easily win this game, but since moving to the state's highest classification there have only been a handful of games that SLC has lost by more than 10 points. If it's a close game I think the advantage shifts to the Dragons, so I'm casting my "homer" vote for SLC by a FG.
