LCA - 35 Salem - 21 FINAL
LCA is REALLY good this year, just as everyone expected. In a lot of ways they are even better than last year's team. They are just going to run over teams up front... just did that to Salem and that is one of the best fronts they will face all year.
Obviously they have some really key guys that need to stay healthy but if they do, their games are going to just be ugly before halftime. The new QB also made some really nice clutch plays and that is something I wasn't expecting.
Salem will be fine the rest of the year. I think everyone knows the type of talent they lost from last year's team but I still like this group. QB Eli Taylor played a nice game throwing and some scrambles and Persinger and Logan had great games as well. They were able to run the ball surprising well at times against a VERY good front and I thought the OL played pretty well in the run game and in pass protection.
