Showed that against Exeter.

What is your prediction for Wilson game ?

Mike Drago

12:12

I will arrive on time, and the press box will be overly crowded.

Other than that, I won't make any predictions.

I do think it'll be a great game, and I'm looking forward to it.

12:13

Manheim has a top-flight QB in Evan Simon, and Wilson D will be hard-pressed to shut him down as well as it did last year.

I don't pick scores or predict games; I don't know enough to do that.

Brandon George is not even on the Depth Chart for The Pitt vs PSU game this Saturday. What’s up with that?

Mike Drago

12:13

They must have better linebackers right now.

12:14

We're talking about a Division I program, and a freshman.

It's not automatic that freshman get on the field right away.

Imago

12:14

Need more than two guys. Just saying

Mike Drago

12:15

About BC? You are correct. But I think they've got more than two.

Mike

12:15

Pitt is no Penn State and Freshman are on the field there.

Mike Drago

12:15

Sorry, I have no insight there. Maybe there's an injury, maybe the Pitt staff has other plans.

I'm sure in time he'll be on the field, and will start, and will make an impact.

I'll make that prediction.

Imago

12:16

Pitt had something like 8 returning LB's before Mr. George's arrival. He'll get his chance, but it doesn't like it'll be this season.

Mike Drago

12:16

There you go, thanks.

Exeter seems to be moving along. I thought for sure, with the graduations from last year, they were in trouble. But they are, at least in the record book, at the same place they are last year. And even though they play the same schedule, this year seems more favorable. Can they compete for Section 1?

Mike Drago

12:16

That's a very stable, consistent program.

12:17

Something good going on there, obviously, from the youth league on up.

12:18

Have consistently, over the past decade, produced good football players, and a lot of top-shelf guys, like the Menet brothers and the Yocum brothers, and the Scott brothers . . .

Always impressed at how that program keeps turning out QBs . . . always seem to have someone ready to go.

Seems like several times in the past 10 years the starter was injured and a sophomore or freshman jumped right in.

12:19

Now, can they win the Section 1 title?

I won't rule that out. They looked good last week.

Most of that depends on Mifflin.

If Mustangs turn it around, as they almost always do, then we're looking at a great game in Week 9.

how did you feel about wyomissing vs north schuylkill?

Mike Drago

12:20

I think maybe it was one of the 10 best games I've seen at the A-Field in the last 30 years.

Not that I keep a list of such things, but it lived up to the hype.

Two state-ranked programs, and they really went after each other.

I thought Spartans were very well-prepared to play at a high level, came in with a great game plan and executed.

12:21

They showed a lot of good things.

Most important, they showed they can match a physical team and beat them at their own game.

Imago

Said it in this forum two years ago, but the BC program has peaked. I don't see them beating Wyo this year and possibly Fleetwood. And I don't think the calvary is riding in next year either.

Mike Drago

12:21

Well, the calvary rode in this year, but part of it was turned back.

12:22

We will see.

James Buchannan

12:22

I think Spring-Ford is going to be the barometer for the rest of the season for Exeter. If they can beat them, something they have not done in the last 4 years (got robbed by bad officiating last year) they can do it.
