I think Muda is the only one allowed to mention that game.  It has bothered him for 15 years.  Has it bothered you for 15 years?  Oh My! 🙂

Maybe you should think about a name change to "Chippy"?

LCC more than likely will have to drive the ball.  Of Plummer’s 52 kickoffs 30 have been touchbacks.  His leg in kicking game cannot be over-stated. 

Laville has dudes no question about it.  Very physical team.  I expect Laville will look to pound the ball and throw over the top when opportunity arises.

LCC is more of a finesse team from games I’ve seen. Can Laville generate pressure on Metzger and/or cover on the backend.  With Plummer and Czarnecky in secondary Laville has size and playmakers there.  Should be a great match up.

I'd normally agree about field position being a key component ... giving ur opponent short fields is Not Good... but it appears to me this Lcc O is savy enuff to strike quickly from anywhere on the field... as u say...should b a great chess match with these two each attempting to isolate/neutralize the playmakers of the other...

I think this one is gonna come down to coaching. Which coach can make the right and best adjustments. That's gonna decide this game. 

 

I don't feel like LaVille is getting a fair shake here. If you watched the LaVille vs Andrean game, it really wasn't as close as the score suggested. The 59ers had a couple big plays to keep them in it. LaVille had their way with them most of the night. 

 

I will say that LCC's passing attack will be the best that LaVille has faced so far this season. LaVille likes to bring backers on blitzes. If they can't get to the QB, it's gonna leave someone wide open. 

 

We'll see how this plays out. JH has it 28 - 21 in favor LCC. I think it will be a close one. I wouldn't be surprised to see it go either way.

LCC wins this one by 10+. LaVille is not that good. They are not playing on that “mosh pit” they call a field. QB is a good athlete but will make mistakes throwing the ball. LaVille secondary weak especially one of their corners. Metzger will have a field day.

My momma said someone has to be wrong here!

Pulling for laville as they destroyed the mighty whiting oilers and always root against the catholic schools

This is what Metzger's good at.  Metzger's good at getting away from the blitz, but he's not what I would classify as slippery or a running threat.  He's just good at moving enough to give a receiver an extra second to get in the seam or gap or slot or just plain open.  The other thing that he's good at is not fixating on a single guy when he gets flushed.  Mike Tyson used to say, "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth."  I liken that, with QBs as, "Most QBs have multiple targets, until the blitz comes through the A gap."  Metzger's pretty good about still seeing multiple targets even with the blitz.  It comes down to discipline ... if LaVille can bring the blitzes AND stay disciplined on ALL of the receivers, then it works for them.  Sometimes though, DBs get excited when a QB flushes and want to get that half QB tackle stat ... and that's disastrous.

LaRocca will likely be as good as playing on turf on Friday ... likely more forgiving when hitting the ground.  The main issue for visiting teams tends to be the dewpoint in the fall when the skies are relatively clear.  I've seen some opponents and officials make some "America's Funniest Home Videos" slips on that field in the fall with humidity hanging in the air.

How do you figure, they're not good?

I guarantee no one from Lcc is underestimating the Lancers... they ran right over the 56ers... n Lcc got run over by the Zebras ...dont think the Zrbras ever did punt ... I suspect both will b adding some Offensive twists this week... but think Lcc is gonna hav ta buck up on D n get some stops to pull out the win...

But, but,  I've been told in other threads that by November natural grass fields in Indiana are all fetid swamps,  not worthy to step on, much less play a football game on.

Since it seems people are using Andrean game as a measuring stick of LaVille. Let’s keep in mind:

1. Andrean below average team this season.

2. Loss by 2 to LaVille with 4 turnovers; 2 of which were snaps over the heads of qb and punter setting LaVille up at the 10 and 20 yard lines.

3. Extremely sloppy field. Actually a joke of a field.

4. Interception by Andrean in Endzone right before halftime. Same drive has two holding calls inside 10 yard line.

My point is Andrean self destructed and still only loss by 2 to a bad Andrean team.

In regards to LaVille, they have a talented qb as a runner not a thrower. He will make inaccurate throws for interceptions. Defensive secondary very questionable. They will blitz but if picked up long night for LaVille secondary. KO team coverage is bad. Better kick them in endzone. Andrean almost took 3 to the house. Overall team speed lacking with LaVille. QB and #2 decent speed.

Lastly, if the weather is good and field is fast, LCC will have huge advantage.

LCC by 10+

[BendNotBreak]

Rodchester and Andrean both TO'd it 4 times... why Lcc and LaVille r still playing b my guess.... 

[dazed and confused]

GO KNIGHTS !

[Coach Nowlin]

Metzger will throw for 300 + 

Exactly what @RegionFBFan stated, the game will be on a very good FAST bermuda grass field with no moisture in sight.   You cannot blitz and sell out to get to Metzger because they will get the ball out incredibly fast, then what, you have an secondary who won't be able to run and catch up with those WRs.   Who will LaVille counter with to shut down a 6'7 WR?    

LaVille has had an outstanding year, their is another level of football in Lafayette area then our friends farther north.  

As seen by West Lafayette beating Hanover Central last week.   LaVille NEEDED a monsoon imo, they didn't get it this week like they did week 10

Need a couple around that height as, between Schwartz and Clayton you've a couple guys trolling around the secondary at 6'5"+ on any given play.

Nice catch Coach... most r unaware of the deep Fb history of the area... Ther r still decendants, of the Coach, of the Great Jim Thrope who played at Pine Village, not far from WL. before moving to Chicago. Chicago Cardinals I believe at that time... befor the move to St Louis... That family were all pretty good Athleles themselves... Area ties to the sport run deep.... Predate the NFL...  And Now U Know The Rest of The Story!  PH Good Day!

I imagine not if it was across from those LCC teams with Cronk and Jackson on them.

 

I remember in 2012 with like 50 seconds left before half Central Catholic threw 4 passes to score a TD right after Winamac got within a TD and CC had zero time outs. I looked at my girlfriend and said "it's like watching Monday night football " haha. 

Barrett was also a very special player.

The 2012 team would have been Jackson's brother Danny. Never had to play those LCC teams with the ghost on it. Grew up watching them though. If I had a choice between the two I'm not sure there is a right answer on which team you want to play against between the 2012 team and the 2015 team.

Yeah I was at that game.  You could almost literally hear the wind go out of the Winamac crowd at that point.  I think there was also a Timmy Mills KO return for a TD in that one too.

Kind of depends on whether you wanted to get smoked or beat to death.  Both squads had offensive weaponry, but those 2009-2012 LCC defenses just laid the lumber to everyone.  Had this picture that kind of summed up LCC's defenses of those years.  This was a post-season game up at Pioneer ... I think it was 2011.
