Newark Catholic 41 Nelsonville-York 21

I don't hold out much hope for NY. Having not watched NC, it could be a good game, but these are my assessments from NY last week. The Buckeyes are very much one-dimensional on both sides of the ball. Having only thrown the ball 5 or 6 times last week, the NY quarterback completed more to the opposing team than his own or the ground. The NY defense was able to plug up the middle and was not tested on the outside on the run, but they seemed to be able to swarm to the ball. The secondary was not able to effectively defend against the pass, they were beaten by all wide receivers, but with poor passes, they were able to get back into position. The Buckeyes need to be thankful that ‘Cats don’t have opposable thumbs, because they were fumbling every series and giving NY several chances. I understand it is early in the season, these were just the observations I made and what I feel NY can work on. I was disappointed to see that the change in coaching staff did not lead to a new style in offense other than formations.

The things that NY didn't do well were all mental mistakes and can be fixed with coaching.
I think you will see Hunter throw a lot better thus week. The improvement from the DB's and the QB position should be ten fold. A lot of first game jitters. We've played worse week one and went on to have great seasons. I think Newark Catholic will give us everything and more but we can definitely play with them.

I wonder why NY and burg don't play each other? Anyway good luck buckeyes!

I would love for NY and Burg to play each other. A lot of years the burg would come away with the win but I think it would be a competitive series and really be a measuring stick game for the Buckeyes.

Saturday night special, unless they correct 1st game mistakes this might be a blowout.

I think NC takes it and the interception will be a big reason.

#7 for NC will have to be a force on both sides of the ball for the prediction to come to be.

I think NY showed in week one what they can do when a team has one player to carry them. We all saw the result. If your post is accurate this week will be easier than last week. This team will not allow one player to beat them.

[LICKING COUNTY FAN]

I never said #7 was their only or main weapon.

Should be a great matchup and preview as to what the Buckeyes have in the stable this year. It is no mystery that the Buckeyes are light years ahead of where they were last year (or the past 11 years for that matter). They have a strong head coach with a solid staff backing him, and some athletes that could make some noise this year in the TVC. I haven't had the opportunity to watch them this year in pads but did get a chance to watch them toss the rock in 7v7 (I do understand that 7v7 means absolutely nothing in the end) but Edwards was throwing better than any QB i've seen in that program for the past decade and his receivers kept the chains rolling. They have a solid run game as they always do, and a coach that knows how to win football games past week 10. This week is definitely one that will show the NY fans what they have to work with for the next 8 weeks or more.

Just because i'm a reborn Buckeye fan & a true believer in the new head honcho in Buchtel:

NY over NC

22-16

I'm actually expecting a slug fest in this game.
The Bucks have put in a good week fixing their mistakes and getting ready for Newark Catholic.
This could come down to the last team with the ball.

I can't wait for tomorrow night!
BUCKEYE PRIDE!

One thing no can say about NY is that the Buckeyes play a weak nonleague schedule. The Bucks always have a nice nonleague schedule.

Trimble, Newark Catholic, Liberty Center, Logan.


GO BUCKS! BEAT THE POPES!

We replace Logan and LC with Waverly and Minford next season.

[noreply66]

That might be a slight improvement .lol

Logan won't be down long. They will improve week by week as the season goes on.

[noreply66]

We still have some boys out. I know one is a starter don't know about the others.

[TRENCHFOOT]

Good Luck to the NY Buckeyes!

Too bad Logan is rotating off the schedule. Logan is going to have to travel a lot as an independent next year.

This will be the first time NY has ever played Waverly. Fun fact...Waverly replaced NY in the SEOAL in 1970 when NY joined the TVC. Back then, the SEOAL teams played the same teams in the same order but bumped up one week each year. So whoever you played in the last week of the season, you played in the first week of league play the following year. Waverly essentially inherited NY's exact SEOAL schedule.

NY has a little history with Minford. That should be a fun series.

NY had never played Newark Catholic before the current series started several years ago. If this keeps getting renewed, NC will quickly rise up the ranks of the all-time number of games played against one opponent by NY.

If this is what the new coaching staff has to offer us in the years to come its gonna be a lot of long losing seasons. Very very sad performance 2 weeks in a row. Play calling is the worst I've ever seen at NY. Defense is the worst I've ever seen at NY.
