I haven't seen JC play this season, so I can't make a prediction. But I'll agree with sstack: CovCath is considerably better this season than last year. Easily the best team CovCath has had since 2006. Biggest weakness is the lack of running game, but they use their short passing game as their running game. Bir is an excellent QB. Throws the ball well and makes great decisions. They have nice receivers. Egbers (one of the receivers) is a very fine all around football player. Defensively, CovCath is solid. Very solid and won't be intimidated by JC's physical play offensively. Birds were able to run the ball better than CovCath supporters expected (Highlands has an exceptionally good run game this year), so perhaps JC will be able to do so also. JC will have to keep the CovCath safeties back though (as Highlands did) to keep CovCath from packing the box. Matney is a smart coach and I'm sure he realizes such. Wouldn't surprise me to see JC chucking the ball deep early to force CovCath's safeties to stay honest. CovCath may gamble; move the DBs up: and force JC to try and beat them with the weaker part of JC's offense. I know I would if I was CovCath's coach. Looking forward to coming home Friday night and see who won this game.
