[RAM-A-DEVIL]

I think Ashland is going to score points. This sounds like a good plan, but the Ashland offensive line is good this year...and good luck containing Ratliff when the pocket breaks down. He didn't run much against Harlan County because he didn't have to. They didn't even throw to the tight ends either. I think they have a lot more weapons that we didn't see against Harlan County.

I think the best way for Raceland to win this game is on the offensive side of the ball. The biggest weakness that was exposed on the Ashland team against Harlan County was that their defensive line can get pushed back and their linebackers aren't big and strong enough to stuff the running backs for zero gain. Harlan County controlled the ball for most of the game while eventually fumbling or getting penalties to set them back. If the Rams have a power running game, then they need to just keep the Ashland offense off the field. Go straight at them and not sideline to sideline, because they are fast as you pointed out.

I agree. Harlan had 14 or 15 first downs. Rams need to ball control and keep the ball out of Ashland’s hands. Just enough passing to keep them off balance. Speed kills and the putty tats have lots of it.
