BC(0-3) vs. Butler(0-4)

Once a rival of Benedictine, the Cadets and Bulldogs have not met since the late '60s. Both teams enter this matchup winless and each realize this is a great chance to pick up a win. Butler has been outscored this year 144-32 and did not score until last week against Hephzibah. That just happened to be Hephzibah's first win of the year. Butler who once had a proud tradition is battleing with Richmond Academy for the title of worst program in the Greater Augusta area. The program has produced outstanding players such as Carlos Rogers(Auburn) and Ben Troupe(Florida) in the not so distant past but find themselves 2-13 in their last 15 games. The offense runs a wing system similar in ways to that of Camden with a lot of deception and misdirection. Obviously they don't have the athletes ideal for this system indicated by the 3 shutouts to begin this year. The defense is vulnerable to giving up the big play but is not as big of a concern this week playing a methodical wishbone attack such as BC's. Caleb Collins has been one of the few bright spots for the Cadets offense and will need to have a big night. Stephen Swinson is seemingly making every other tackle on the defensive side of the ball and hopefully his good play will continue. This game will be played fairly quickly with both teams likeing to keep the ball on the ground. I expect a close game for a majority of the night and Special teams is huge in a close contest. BC cannot afford to make the mistakes in the kicking game as they did last week. I see both teams as being pretty equal and could go either way. Keep in mind this is the Cadets' first real road game of the year and that can always be a factor. This is a MUST win for BC given this type of opportunity will only come around a few times this year. I believe better coaching will be the difference and the Cadets find a way.
