This should be a good one. Last years game was a battle if I remember right Burg was down and recovered a few onside kicks to get back In game. Burg ran all well in this game but had trouble stopping Mcnicholas passing game and skill position. I would love to hear any more input on tonight’s matchup. I do have to say to my fellow Burg fans…Week 1 vs Ironton is over with and done. Ironton won and it was a heck of a game but no need to continue to argue/dwell on itSo let’s move to week 2 and focus on this very good team out
Of Cincy

I would expect McNich to look the same as last year. The QB Burg saw last year was their sophomore backup; starter went down in the first game. Not sure if their top RB is back or not.

Hopefully Burg can control the pace using their run game.

I agree definitely get the run game established early. I didn’t realize last year qb was their backup. Kid played a heckuva game and made some great plays as a sophomore stepping in to start

Found out talking to some of the McNich folks during the game last year; was shocked as well. I believe that last year’s original starter was a junior so he should be back.

McNich would be happy with a shootout, Burg needs to avoid that. Use the run game to pound them and wear the D down. Hope they make a few mistakes on offense.

Good luck Pirates. I see them getting the win by abt 6

Hope so. Nervous about this one. McNich’s D is not as tough as Ironton (not even close), but they can throw the ball around. Their sophomore QB tore Burg up last year.

Is the pirate game being streamed?

Hope everything is good in the Burg, heard some serious weather was coming through, prayers everything’s ok.

If it helps calm you any , Jackson is pulling for you.

Burg playing sloppy ball. Offense still a mess.

[FIDO]

They do better going north and south vs east and west.

Agree.

The sweep simply doesn’t work against teams with speed. Just throw that play away.
