Pittsburg vs Carthage

[DogNation]

Who do you got? Carthage coming off of a dominating win over a good Kilgore team and Pittsburg coming off a close loss to Mount Pleasant. I think Dawgs roll in this one by as many as they want.

[PantherNation2015]

Pitt needs to play with 0 turnovers with long grinding drives that end in 7 points, and defense must play lights out against the pass.  If not, this game will be over in Q1.

I just don't see this being close.  Carthage by 28+

Pittsburgh will be good for the Dawg  defense. You don’t see that offense much unless your playing PG. 

I think the Dawgs will improve and correct the things they did not do well. 
Pittsburgh will play hard nose football, they have always played physical and have good athletes. They have a good coach and will have his team prepared. 
I think we will see Cuff throwing the deep ball and that will help the running game. The Dawgs running backs were impressive last week. They ran hard against a good Kilgore defense front 7. 
The backs got hit hard and kept driving their feet. The backs have good speed and size and will a big test for Pittsburgh s D line and linebackers. 
Pittsburghs DB are going to have to cover four very good and fast receivers. 
The Dawg O line was big time improved since last year. They are big and strong, Kilgore D line did get to Cuff a few times and forced him to move out of the pocket sometimes but Kilgore has very good D linemen. 
The Dawg D was big time impressive with 9 new starters. Holding Kilgore to 10 points and only allowed 2 maybe 3 first downs in the first half. 
Can’t wait to see this group improve every week. They are super fast to the ball and the D line is big and strong. 
The linebackers and DB’S can cover the receivers and hit hard making a tackle. 
Dawgs will this ball game and improve. 
Let’s Go Dawgs and hopefully

God Bless Coaches, Players, and Fans.

Carthage will win this one without much trouble, Pitt just isn't there yet.  I do think Pitt is headed in the right direction,  and credit to them for their schedule! They aren't afraid to schedule tough

A few things jumped out to me about the Bulldogs Friday night.

1. The defense appears to be further along than expected considering that there are 9 new starters on that unit this year.  
2. One (or 3) of the big reasons for 1 above is the 3 big sophomore starters - 2 defensive linemen, each of whom weighs about 260, and a 210-pound linebacker. Given that 2 of those 3 have last names that are quite familiar to long-time Bulldog fans (Allison and Ingram), I suspect those young men have been anxiously awaiting this time for years as they followed older brothers and/or cousins who played big parts for outstanding CHS teams of the past.
3. The 2 new starters on the O-line are also sophomores - one of them being yet another Allison (the twin brother of 1 of the 2 new D-linemen, I suspect.)
4. WR/KR Noah Paddie certainly hasn't lost a step; in fact, he may be even faster this year.  He knows what to do with the football once it's in his hands. 
5. QB Connor Cuff appears ready for a big senior season, which is about the only kind of senior season any of Coach Surratt's starting QBs ever seem to have.  His outstanding performance Friday shouldn't have been a surprise given that Coach Surratt said in all of the preseason interviews that Connor is way ahead of where he was this time last year.  (Coach Surratt tends to know what he's talking about.)

To add to your #4, Paddie (at least for game 1) is catching the football much better.  Last year there were many times his speed went to waste because he couldn't secure the catch.  Hopefully he continues this trend.  

I also like the way the new RB runs the ball.  He just seems to be instinctually more of a natural running the ball than we had last year.

So I gotta know, who's the starting back for Carthage?

Great information Mr. Brown. 
That makes the win over Kilgore even more impressive. I thought the D line played a great game. And did the O line. Kilgore is a very good team , they had two very costly penalties. That led to touchdowns for our Dawgs.

Carthage backups should get a decent amount of snaps in this one

They got the big WR Manning that was a stud for EF last year. Not sure if he's eligible for varsity or not. The 4 star DB from DF almost ended up over there but stayed in DF.

Manning played last week vs Kilgore and had a TD reception.

So many transfers for Carthage. Even when you lose a stud wr, he ends up staying in Carthage by time fall rolls around. Must be nice. Carthage has turned into the Evangel of ET.
