Cadets(0-2) vs. Knights(1-2)

BC enters with an 0-2 record and once again will be an underdog to a Savannah high school. I don't know exactly how long but I know it hasn't been recent since the Cadets have lost 3 straight games to Savannah schools. To no ones surprise Windsor will come in with more size, speed, and talent. They opened the season getting drilled by a very good Houston County team from region 1-AAAAA. Last week they handled a weak Claxton team 47-14. After a stint as being one of the worst programs in the state about 5 years ago, Windsor has had two straight successful seasons including a state playoff birth in 2004 in which they were defeated by eventual state champion Lowndes in the first round. Windsor will bring a similar team to Memorial Stadium that the Cadets saw from Groves. Windsor likes to rely on the run game but defiantly does not have the capability in the air that Groves did. The defense is a little better than average but nothing special. The Cadets will continue to run the Herndon offense and should only be getting better. How quickly Windsor is able to adapt to BC's offense will go a long way in determining the outcome. Look for BC to go straight at the Knights using less of the option than normal. BC's defense made great strideds last week and return some injured players who might not help but surely can't hurt.

This game use to be a platform for the JV team to get significant playing time. This year its one of BC's most important games and would do wonders if they could pull the upset. The key to the game is Windsor's rushing attack against BC's run defense. If the Cadets have as much success stopping the run as they did last week, Windsor might struggle having to throw it. You almost know what to expect from BC's offense and weather they can break the big play or not will determine if BC has a chance. Its not the same BC we are use to but the Knight players and fans see it no differently today than yesterday, we are still "BC". I like BC a lot better this week than last and could be ready to win. However, this is a huge game for Windsor's program and the desire and passion the Knights will play with will be the deciding factor. Closer than most expect. Windsor 23 - BC 16

I am as big an optimist there is when it comes to BC football, but I feel especially good about tonight's game.

Is it that we will be at full strength for the first time all year? Or is it because Bobby Deen (Paula Deen's son) was the only person out of seven to pick BC in the SMN weekly pigskin prognosticator? Maybe it's the fact that I had Carey Hilliard's for lunch today.

Whatever it is, I am confident that the Herndon turnaround starts tonight. The Cadets execute an about-face and march double-time through the Knights.

BC 20 Windsor 14

I was way off on that one. We still suck. No more predictions from me.
