CAL must have changed a lot of things between the first of the season to now, the defense they put on the field against Simon Kenton looks awful.

CAL by 3

No 64, most voters in this area were voting heavily for the Trump Train. So, I don't think they are headed for the borders.

Cant say much yet, I have not got to watch CAL but I believe in my Cards

[mysonis55]

Looking sharp this week.

[gobigredMHS]

I have watched a lot of CAL and I think it has the potential to be a great game. If Mayfield can shut the run down and force CAL to put it in the air I like our chances. The Milton Wright kid is the real deal on offense and especially on defense, any pass to a receiver he is defending had better only be catchable by that receiver or its an interception.

I think Simon Kenton had an offense similar to what Mayfield is going to be showing Friday night, with the added bonus of Trajon Bright, which will be the best back CAL has faced all season. CAL has the defense to stop him, but can they key on just that and slack on the passing D? That part I highly doubt.

[mysonis55]

Remember 2010 when we surprised Beechwood and Hazard in back to back weeks with a weapon they didn't know about. Just remember this team is being compared to that team.

[mysonis55]

There has been a lot of talk around here about how much Mayfield's defense has given up this season versus what CAL's defense has. Mayfield has allowed 175 points versus CAL allowing 140. That amounts to Mayfield allowing an average of 13 points per game. CAL allows an average of 11 points per game.

That really isn't that much of a difference. But, here is what people really miss. The hidden factors. Mayfield's varsity defense didn't allow that. 7 points that Graves Co scored was against Mayfield's jv. 20 points that Corbin scored were not allowed by the defense. It was due to a pick 6, a punt block for a td and a snap over the punters head. Murray scored 7 points on the jv defense. Hancock Co scored 7 points on the jv defense. Butler Co scored 6 points on the jv defense. That's a total of 47 points.

If you take the 47 points off the Mayfield defense's total you get 128. That is less than CAL allowed. It's also 10 points per game on average.

[mysonis55]

Now for a true discrepancy. Mayfield has scored 617 points as opposed to 496 scored by CAL.

[mysonis55]

If you can't tell, I can't wait for Friday to get here.

[cj2561]

Maysonis55 if Mayfield and Danville both back it to the BG. I might come out there no matter if Hazard make it or not. these two teams use to have some good games back in the day.

[mysonis55]

It depends on which side you were setting when you talk about good games. I think 2002 was a good one.

[mysonis55]

I would say if we can do our part and get by CAL that it will be another meeting of the 2.

[cj2561]

from 2000 to 2004 or 2005. if I remember right the blowouts these year, not because the other team was that much better. it is because that team have turnovers.

[mysonis55]

2001 we had the Ads on the rope and Coach Joe got real conservative. Next thing you know the 7 point lead we had late in the forth became a 7 point loss. Then we came to Danville the next year with our first 15-0 team and controlled the Ads. We only let them cross the 50 once. We only won that one 17-7.

[Glory_Days]

I have been watching video of CAL and they are impressive on D, currently watching the Simon Kenton game trying to figure out what happened in that game, Simon Kenton's run d looks awful. I can't imagine that game was that bad of a fluke for them to only put up 14pts. Even good teams keep games closer than that.

Looks like CAL has problems with a hurry up offense,

I was thinking the same thing. Simon Kenton has a very high powered offense but lacks on defense at times (I'd say much like McCracken Co but SK being better than MC this year). The stats showed 5-0 turnovers in favor of SK with a pick six. IMO, that kind of clarified the differential and lack of scoring by CAL. Also, being the first game of the year can make a difference.

CAL won the turnover battle in the Central game and that score ended lopsided in favor of CAL.

Mayfield's strength of schedule is better by some, not a ton, but enough to make those numbers a little better.

[mysonis55]

I'm just glad the rain came this week on Wednesday instead of Friday.

[gobigredMHS]

I'm just glad the rain came this week on Wednesday instead of Friday.

Yeah, rain slowed our scoring ability, but it didn't slow the running game down. It would make this game closer tho.

[gobigredMHS]

Sitting here watching the Franklin County/CAL game, which was a month ago and honestly, the first series Franklin County did whatever they wanted to against this "spectacular" CAL defense. Not too impressed. Franklin county's defense is awful, and the offense is mediocre at best and they seem to run the ball fine against CAL.

[Wildcat18]

Mayfield takes it 24-14.

[mysonis55]

For all those who thinks the sky is falling due to us missing a linebacker this week. I have some thoughts for you. Would you say that 1 linebacker is more crucial to our team than Trajon Bright? If not, think about this. We beat a good 6a team in McCracken Co with the use of Trajon for less than 1 quarter. We beat a very good Corbin, an average Graves Co team and Murray without the use of Trajon.

Yeah, its gonna effect us some being able to stop the Wright kid from getting more yards but we are deep in that position. Not worried about it. CAL's defense is not as fast as Mayfield's.

[blue55]

Trajon is the real deal, he gets xtra yards even when he gets stopped. Kinzer is a great player and will be missed. He has a real nose for the ball.

That 10 team didn't surprise many. They were basically #1 from week 1 thru the entire season and most projected they'd win it all that year..

I think most teams that make it to this point in the season have had their fair share of lopsided wins and not all their points were given up by their varsity either.

[mysonis55]

KY, that's where you are wrong. The closeness of CAL's games did not allow that much. I see 2 games on their schedules that allowed for that. I think it was a total of 14 points if they were both on jv.

[mysonis55]

Blue, you are not catching on. There was a certain piece of the team that was not shown until those 2 games. That particular piece accounted for 2 touchdowns in each of those games. Remember, this team is being compared to that team for a reason.
