I don't know... I think PLD is a much better team than they are getting credit for this year. They lost to a really good Madison Southern team in the final seconds by 1 point (1 or 2, it was less than a field goal). In my opinion, Creek should have blown out PLD, but they didn't (chalk that up to the coaching staff, not the players). Station can move the ball, and could create all kinds of head aches for Creeks defense. They will do a lot of little dink passes to get their speedy guys in open space. Creek will have to rely on good open field tackling to stop them. But this Creek defense has been really good this year. They will shut them down in the first half. Second have may be a different story. That said, I don't see Stations defense keeping up with Creeks passing game. The Creek team that played PLD (and only passes the ball 18 times) will not be the Creek team that shows up on Friday (which will probably put the ball in the air over 30 times). I see a fairly high scoring game here, with Creek putting up more points in the first half to take the win... I'm looking for a score in the range of 35 to 21, Creek wins. Unless the Creek coaches pull a bone head move like they did against Henry Clay and try to establish a run game. Then Creek gets a beat down... We'll see which team shows up!
