WK 8 - OVAC - Barnesville (6-1) @ Monroe Central (0-7)

[carbon_dated]

Not sure what will keep this one close, but Shamrocks loaded this year and MC struggling .
Barnesville has eyes on playoffs.

[Jason Vorhees]

Bunfill will run roughshod over the Seminoles defense. A legendary coach struggling this year.

Barnesville is overrated.

[Jason Vorhees]

Maybe so, but Bunfill is the real deal. Last time I checked, Monroe Central's defense is giving up 41 points per game, although Barnesville is giving up 21 points per game. Barnesville will give up some points but score way more. I see this game as a 60-28 game.

Oh they should beat Monroe Central. That being said Barnesvilles best win was over (4-3) Rosecrans. I think you stack the box vs The Rocks and you find success.

[Jason Vorhees]

They could; however, one of the things that it seems Barnesville has gotten better at over the past season or so is screens. If Monroe does stack the box up, Barnesville could counter with screens or a TE dump play. Will they do that a lot? No, but just enough to keep Defenses honest. I've also seen Barnesville, as good as they are on offense at times, be just as stubborn with play calling. Sometimes they run the same play until it starts to work. Defensively, if Barnesville does make it to the playoffs, could spell disaster for them. A well-coached team with the horses to back it up could light up the scoreboard more than what the Rocks would want to remember.

Main concern for Barnesville is coming out healthy, not many computer points.

[EasternDspy]

Yea Barnesville defense is awful allowing over 500 yards to Trail. In contrast Trail had 78 vs Fort Frye.

Barnesville should win easily in this rivalry game, but MC needs to win last 3 to avoid worst season in Woodstick in quite some time.
