Rumblings both teams may be without their starting QBs due to off field issues albeit much bigger issue for IC. Add it to the 30 for 30 documentary this battle.
Field conditions shouldn’t be much of a factor as the Byron field is in as good of shape it has ever been in.

It could be isolated showers in north central Illinois until the weekend.

In all honesty, I’d like to know if IC starting QB is gonna play before making a prediction. That’s kind of a big deal.
Agreed on the QB situation, not sure whats going on there if its injury related or what. But it definitely is a game changer in this matchup.

The Freshmen QB coming in and throwing 4 TDs didn’t do too shabby. Totality of the teams still matter and IC has far and away the best player and team. Turn the sprinklers on now Byron bc this is gonna be 41-10.

And what do you feel IC’s best five are by number, starting with 11?
#11 is the star of the team. I'd say the rest, in no particular order, are #1, #7, #9, #12, and #13. Admittedly, I don't know a ton about individual players for Byron, but those guys for IC are all on a level not commonly seen in 3A.

Byron’s most talented player is probably Auker TE/DE but they throw 2 passes a game so minimal impact there- basing this solely on some D1 interest as a Sophomore and ability to grow into a frame and some recruiting show outs from Edgy. Hiveley is a gamer and was a deserved pick for all state at LB who could maybe be the 6th best player on IC.

Can't wait for this one.
Asked this before but can’t find the reply. How similar is the Byron offens to Ignatious? If very similar, how equal are the Byron offensive players and those of Iggy. Reason I ask is because IC was one play away from loosing to Iggy, and if Byron can come close to Iggy, then we have a game

Don't forget about the FS/RB for Byron, Edmondson (#27), I believe. He's getting D1 interest as well. For IC, #77 is an absolute LOAD in the middle of that defense. I'm pretty sure he has already signed with NIU. I might put him in their top five lol.
All that said, regardless of the talent, which obviously favors the boys from Elmhurst (or the boys within 30 miles of Elmhurst 😂), if IC can't stop the run against Byron, it won't matter. Byron will shorten the game and limit the possessions for both teams. The weather isn't terrible, but it's certainly not ideal for a spread team like IC. Maybe they'll lean on their running back and try to keep it on the ground game all day.
Looking forward to this one!

Byron runs wing-t concepts, not the triple option like Iggy. So while they are similar in that they run it a lot, they are not the same. Against both you HAVE to play disciplined defense. I would say the running backs for Byron are comparable to that of Iggy. I would probably lean toward Byron actually, since they have 4-5 of them. I watched the IC/Iggy game and I see this one going similar.

St. Ignatius FB Nino Capuano is really good but only a soph.

Shaw for IC is a beast. Sebastian is also a good player.

Have heard same thing past few days.

Both QB’s had the same type of problem but it wasn’t an injury…

Stupid is all I can say.

If both quarterbacks are out, it probably affects IC more, because the Byron quarterback is just there to hand the ball off. However, after a rough first quarter, IC's backup had a good game last week.

Seems like both QB's will be out, which hurts IC more, but I will predict...

IC 21
Byron 14

I think it will be pretty close. I could definitely see Byron pulling it off, but I could also see IC running away with it if things get sideways.

Verified or still rumor? It now sounds from what I hear here that the IC QB missed last week for “Excessive Celebration “. We don’t know how many games he will be suspended. Some player(s) for Byron were caught for the same thing. How sure are you it was a QB?

Still a rumor…but someone or a few were definitely celebrating because it made the Rockford news.

I know they weren’t driving to celebration though.

Which also might be a rumor…
