This looks to be CC's toughest test to date. The Titans have been at #1 in many polls all year.
Everyone on this forum knows the game represents a clash of over the top offense vs an extremely tough CC defense. Which will prevail? I think it is fair to say, that while CC has played against some legit QBs in Popp, the kid from DDC, Beachnau from Holt et al, they have not seen a team that heaves the ball 50 plus times a game.
4 and 13 are the primary WRs. Rumor on Mlive is the Justice Wright will try to play at RB. If he is healed that could cause trouble by opening up that dimension on O for the Titans. I just hope the kid is not risking his future health for a $500 ring. Their O line is reported to be big. Obvi they pass block well. And the QB Fracassa poses problems on every play with his ability to make plays while scrambling. (Popp from BBR similar? Both due to stature to see over the big guys?). Can CC apply pressure and contain on their QB? Can the DBs cover all game long?
All the CHSL readers here know the drill on CC. A fullhouse backfield that will attempt to possess the ball and ram it down your throat. Pure smashmouth and power FB. A huge contrast in styles.
I think the telling points from the CC perspective will be to see if they are able to apply QB pressure early on w/o having to bring the house. And if JW is able to add a true presences at RB that may be a wildcard that CC was not planning for. If SHS has both aspects of their offense working, that could pose some problems. Conversely, if CC is able to control the ball and limit SHS touches, that may not bode well for the Titans.
Historically CC Finals games are not won by large margins. This one looks to be a nailbiter.
Enjoy.
