Semi Final Predictions
- Thread starter uiuppp
- Start date
I am good with that. Don’t disagree with your assessments. Should be a good game
you and Cid are so full of crap. Stop hedging your bets. Evil and I already made our predictions. So let's play scenarios. Regina wins unless....
For example, Wick gets hurt (i would never ever wish that upon him or his family again)
Regina's linebackers play even worse than normal (probably not possible)
Quinlan drops even more wide open passes
Drew Cook gets caught in Ashtons uniform
Butch kidnaps marv and Dumont
If Grundy's defense can stop the pass. The run will be shut down if they stop the pass. If not though, it's going to be a problem. Regina will need to shut down the GC RB and have a LB shadowing the QB. I'm not sold on GC's pass offense.
You know the answer. Tell us. I already told you it was going to be an easy game unless Dumont doesn't get the lbs to understand the pics he's drawing them. You both seem to be hedging your bets. You can't possibly think it's an upset if regina wins
Appreciate the response even as bland as it was.... I'd one team does this than the other team does this. Come on cedar, get this bored going. You are the only one that keeps it alive!
There is no passing team like Regina in class A, so a comparison would be rather worthless. Grundy's defense speaks for itself. West Hancock did well with the pass in the last few minutes of that game, but that was prevent defense.
How did I get in the full of crap crowd on this game? I haven’t even commented on the final game yet.
So if I say something I am a homer and if I don’t I
am full of crap. Sounds like a win/win for me lol
Regina by 14. Grundy has a very good defense - Willis is a stud! Knaack and Opheim are both a handful, but Regina just has too many ways to hurt you - especially in the dome. I know there is a lot of hype around Wick and I was skeptical, but that kid has amazing hands. He's made some awesome catches just in the playoff games I've watched. Cook has shown that not only can he throw, but he can run as well and Kolie is a powerful back that reads his blocks very well with decent speed. I give the overall athleticism nod to Regina, line strength nod to Grundy, depth nod to Regina and coaching nod to Regina.
Saint Albert clearly had more speed...they just could not handle the size up front and tackle 1 on 1. Great season falcons. My prediction is Regina by 28 or 35.
You seriously think Regina wins by 4-5 touchdowns over Grundy Center?! Regina may win, but I don't think they've seen a defense as good as GC's this season (other than 4A Pleasant Valley).
I'd think this game is more like the Regina/Wapsie score.
I'll go GC 34 Regina 28. Grundy will try to slow the game down and pound it to keep the ball in their hands as long as possible, at least that's what I think they'll do.
I truly do. GC is a good team. But if they are forced to pass, they will struggle. Regina will be able to score at will IMO Grundy cannot play in a shootout (even though reginas defense is bad) If regina can slow down the run then this will be a 28 point regina win If regina cannot stop the run and is forced into turnovers then it becomes a battle of who has the ball last
I don't want to pull the stats/ watch film again but anyone know how many second half points Regina's starters have given up? Can't be many. I'll credit Dumont/Mitchell for making key half time adjustments.
For some reason, I don't think I'll listen to your analysis this time
. The GC starters have given up a total of 3 offensive touchdowns this season.

Well you have Dumont yell at you for 12 straight minutes at halftime and see if you pull your shit together. 😅

I never said they were a bad team. They deserve to be there. They have also played a cake walk besides britt and SA. Yes they handled both, But Regina is a different Animal.
Meh, again your analysis is more than suspect. I'll take a close game, 14 points at max.
They have to get the prayer in there so it may not be a full 12 minutes.
Struggle in the pass is based on what? Them only throwing it 8 times in the semis? When you rush for 423 yards you don’t need to pass. They have thrown it plenty this year for over 800 yards and 13 touchdowns. I think they will be fine.
If Iowa could win by rushing for 420 yards without risking an overthrow or turnover from Spencer Petras by not attempting a single pass, Iowa fans would take it in a heartbeat........
Regina outside of Pleasant Valley, has not played a defense like GCs all year. Grundy has not played an offense like Regina's all year. GC will not beat Regina with the pass, but the broken play leading to a QB scramble could.
I couldn't resist looking it up.
You can't really look at the season stats, because you can't tell what was against starters without looking at film. But if you take just the playoff games, Regina has Allowed 48 first half points (12/game) and 19 second half points (<5 /game)
So, I think that may speak to the adjustments on defense and/or a conditioning difference? How much of that can you attribute to line play? I think we'll see in a couple days on both points.
I really think this game could go either way, but I'll stick my neck out and say Regina 35 GC 28.
So just to clarify for everyone, it's cool if you give up 21 in the first half as long as you don't give up any in the second half because you make ADJUSTMENTS. Seriously, this train of thought is laughable.
HA long runs broke Saint Alberts back. Due to poor tackling and simply just not being disciplined/better. But GC cannot pass. and will not be able to stop Reginas pass. Like I said no need to be all bitter. I have never seen a more sensitive fan base than Grundy's. Yikes
Also those passing stats are against poor poor teams. Saint Albert absolutely shut down the pass, and Britt did a decent job as well. If you're trying to get into a shootout with Regina you will not win. Maybe I'm wrong. Best of luck either way
I would have thought with the speed of St. Albert they would have had 5 guys on every tackle.
