Good week of football coming up very interested to see both the Southfield/Harrison and Troy/Clarkston games.

Any thoughts on these particular games?

The Troy Clarkston game is the game of the week! Should determine who's the contender, and who's a pretender. Clarkston needs this game desperately and Troy knows it. The winner sits in the early cat bird seat for the Red. IMHO

Well said Den... this may surprise a few folks but Southfield isn't exactly going to Harrison as an underdog. Having viewed both teams going in to week 3, this one should be a dandy. The Jays should have all the offense they'll need until they match up with Adams but Coach Herrington usually has something up that sleeve of his, so I never count the Hawks out.

The Troy/Clarkston game should provide some real insight into exacting where Troy is in the rebuilding of thier offense. Losing three 1000+ rushers to graduation and returning only 2 offensive starters from the 07 season provides for a great deal of inexperience. This game will be a very physical and hard fought with both teams understanding the significance of this early contest. Looking forward to watching this one! Get there early because Colt Stadium will be packed!

73 points in two games? How does Clarkston give up 26 against Athens? I saw Athens play SC and they were pitiful. I agree that it will be a great game. It will surely determine what these two teams are made of. This is the week that separates the pretenders from the contenders.

I think this will be a very good game as an inexperienced Troy offense goes against a severely undersized Clarkston defense, and an outstand Clarkston offense takes on a usually staunch Troy defense. I think the home field advantage holds and Troy finds a way to win. Should be a great game either way.

I also failed to mention Troy's special teams could be the difference maker. I think their opponents have started from the 20 on every Troy kickoff.


As for the Southfield/Harrison game I have yet to see either play in person. I have a feeling Southfield avoids the upset and wins a tough one.
