[EKUAlum05]

I will make a prediction that no one else will. With all the smalshmouth and three yards and a cloud of dust talk, the pass will be open all night both ways.

I predict the team that can make timely passes will turn this game around. Special teams will be huge.

So I feel the team that can throw more effective and play the best special teams wins. I feel JC has the edge here.

Special Teams I think JC definitely has the edge thanks to Pack. With that said, Belfry may very well have the 2nd best Special teams unit in EKY as Woolum is solid, Wellman has been possibly the best punter in EKY this year, and the Pirates have yet to allow a return for a TD.

In terms of passing... I give the edge to Belfry. Warren is a better passer than Gound and Taylor is the best WR on either side. The problem with Keaton is he has had no less than 5 dropped Touchdowns where had badly beaten his man and just didn't keep focus. I like Belfry's backs a little better as receivers as well. I think what keeps it closer in this aspect though is JC appears to be a good bit better at pass blocking.
