I rewatched the Castle/Reitz game in the 2H and it looked like Reitz’s size advantage on the OL wore Castle’s DL down in the 4th, since that is when Reitz started to figure out running the ball might be the best option. Since Castle’s passing defense was locked down the entire night. There was some of videos of the Burnett TD and oh my he is super fast on the ground. Castle’s LB core and backfield couldn’t get to him on time. Also, I liked how Reitz utilized Vera’s speed too in the 2H, since the OL blocked very well for him to find holes or go to the outside.
With, or without Davies, Memorial is going to have their hands full the entire night anyways. Like you said, the passing attack will open if he plays, however, with 2 very good players in Burnett and Vera, Memorial will have some problems with their speed. All 3 levels of Offense, Defense and Special Teams will be factors in this one. I think a lot of people are wishing these 2 will meet in the Sectional at some point. Should be a classic game on a cool evening!
