So JCH taunts feeto into a second, more outrageous pick against a DSR team and feeto decides to ruin my day by picking LT.

For those of you playing along (or watching on Comcast), I offer some keys to the game:

Which Ben Bryant shows up
BB looked like Jay Cutler against Leyden by throwing 55 yard bombs on the money when he had time,while his game against Proviso West was filled with over throws and bad timing. I have been saying (to the snickers of many) that playing on a field with a crown like Duchon is very difficult for most QBs to figure out. Those 12 yard out routes often lead to over throws when a strong armed QB makes his normal throw because receiver is 2-3 feet lower than he is when he is on turf. BB's throws at PW looked like that exact situation happened. Can BB learn from PW and adjust to Duchon Field? A second factor is that no one has really pressure BB yet. Can Hetlet dial up the blitz packages to rattle BB and can Big Cat Moorehead beat LT's slower OTs on the edge. This will be huge. If BB has time and adjusts, could be a long day for GW.

Can Lt's suspiciously Hetlet like D scheme stop GW's much maligned O
LT now runs a D scheme that looks exactly like GW. Smart move. Issue is that they might not be as good as tacklers as GW. I see lots of guys getting to the ball but carriers getting 5-7 YAC many times. Can GW's O catch gears and establish the running game and avoid the penalties that plagued the team in the first three games? GW is getting stronger each week, but they will need to possibly turn it up a notch if LT starts putting points on the board. QB accuracy has improved tremendously and two weeks on Duchon will give him the advantage.

Prediction - 35-14 GW

I don't disagree that this has the potential to become a 5 TD game but LT does have some really active LBs that have wreaked havoc this year. Of course PW and Leydon are not GW.

I think is is a 50/50 proposition of this getting out of hand if GW can get close to the nine sacks they had last year. BB is another year developed and looks quicker this year. Could be another nail biter like we had in '14 at Duchon.

I am quite certain Hetlet reminded the boys that LT was the last and only conference loss of the last nine years.

Congratulations to a well coached and very skilled LT team. They played their guts out and got the win. Well done, and good luck for a deep run in the playoffs!

As for GW...where do I begin. They've created quite a mess for themselves!

The LT QB is really really good. LT coaches had a great scheme on both sides of the ball. I was thoroughly impressed with everything LT did. GW piled up a ton of yards but stalled in the red zone over and over.

Hoping GW bounces back. A lot of streaks ended today. Six years of conference wins, seniors had a 36 game career run and GW had a 30 game regular season run overall.

We need a lot of things to happen to stay in the conference race. We lost a real leader in DJ Ficarella who is likely out for the season after four straight 100+ games. I haven't seen OPRF on film yet but it might be LT's year. If it is, it is because they have the real deal at QB. That kid took some hits that no one on our side thought he could take, but he did.

Congrats to LT

GW doesn't seem to have the same talent as previous years. In the second half, LT's offense pretty much did whatever it wanted. GW's offense didn't come close to breaking any big plays.
