Minford normally plays out of their minds vs Burg! Burg with the tougher non league schedule so I will go with them 31-12

Well as we all know Minford has put together some close games against Burg as of late. However, I think with the youth Minford has at certain positions particularly the QB spot just don’t know that I see Minford keeping it close this time. Burg by 21

Good game early, Burg pulls away late.

Good game early, Burg pulls away late.

Agree.

Advantage Burg has over all SOC teams is depth. Example of this was last year’s game against Minford where Minford played well but just simply wore down as the game went on.

Expect the same this year…

Minford battles. Burg finds a way like they normally do

[VetteMan]

Burg after losing to the Ironmen will probably bounce back with a pretty convincing win against the Falcons.

Going with burg on this one comfortably. Minford QB is a dandy but this will be a tough environment for him early.

[Beergogglebluez]

Minford plays burg tough every year but not this year. I think burg wins by 21 or more. No way they lose 2 in a row.

[THEEE_GAME]

Minfords tradition is falling short vs Burg. Nothing changes this season. Burgs run game will be enough to win here. They don't get in trouble until they play a team talented enough to make them be balanced to score. Then they struggle. Defense has been stingy but it has also gave up yards and big plays here and there. If you put the O on the spot to get it done for Burg they can find themselves in trouble. Burg seems to have an offensive identity, they are just not fond of it, or doesen't trust it yet in big games. The young freshman qb is still good enough to utilize in situational scenarios and that could be impactful if utilized correctly. Run game is still solid but it needs complimented when the quality of opponent elevates. Too good not to use it to setup. Burg can get their athletic guys to the edge on minford they can potentially create some big chunk plays. Pound the power back. Get Lattimore to the edge & in space. Let QB1 move around n pocket & also create chance w legs, throw in a lil PA. Minford has a tendency though especially in recent seasons, to make this a tight game. If it is tight late at home for Burg and Minford stacks up against the run, I'll be curious to see if the offense & play calling become tight again as they have a tendency to do in the post Holden years, who acted like a life jacket for Burgs offense during his tenure. Burgs also a defensive team and a grind it out on O team now in comparison to past style of play. They can dominate the ball or fall in a hole potentially & about equally each week. Burg is physical and sound fundamentally per as usual, run game is good enough to also control games. Minford cant score enough fri night to apply real pressure. Or burg better hope they can't.

Minford keys to an upset win: go up by at least 13 & burg will start to feel big time pressure in front of the home crowd. If its close burg wins 10/10 times. Need to establish a lead and apply pressure.

Close one. But the pirates get a decisive win at home to start conf play.

I think it will be close initially but Burg will pull away. Something like 35-21. Minford hasn’t been battle tested, Burg has. Minford played one good team and got smoked. Burg’s lack of consistent passing helps Minford as Minford’s run D is significantly better than their passing D. Minford QB will be very good the next few years, but I’m not sure he’s ready for Burg’s D. Will have to win with his legs to give Minford a chance I think.

[mustard]

Burg run offense is legit. Passing offense is not.

Burg at home after a home loss vs Minford with a young QB

Tough scenario for Minford

darn!! A logical, objective, and excellent analysis of the game without any of your typical pot-stirring BS.

Well said!!

Burg D is good very good....excellent line play on both sides of the ball.....I cant see Minford scoring enough points in this 1.....Burgs names the score

[Bleeding Red]

In order for Minford to have a chance, they need to make this a low scoring game like Jackson and Ironton did. Burg is very good up front and even though their passing game looks anemic, Im not sure if Minford can sell out and load the box to stop the run. On the flip side, Minford will need to sustain drives offensively, which will be another tough challenge against Burg's defense.

Jackson and Ironton laid the blueprint to beat Burg, we will see if Minford has the horses to pull it off.

I think everyone has known the blue print, it's just a matter of having the athletes or enough of them to pull it off. Minford simply to young at this point in time, I really don't see this being close unless Burg makes too many mistakes.
