A TRIVIA BYTES SPECIAL REVIEW
There a saying, "The third time is the charm." Well, the Lansing Orgres surely hope so. After losing both ends of the regular season "home & away series", Head Coach Jake Lentz has been scratching his head for some answers. He would like to repeat going to the Division Game again where he lost last year to Imperial Bowl runner-up Lawrence.
This game has two teams that do not do anything real flashy but again they don't do much wrong either. There is a lot of balance for both teams and both play the "possum" game and wait for its opportunity to pounce.
The Orgres feature a QB Scott Nelson to WR Lionel Childers connection which has produced 103 receptions for 1502 yards and 9 TDs. Graham Kruse carries the rushing responsiblities.
The Demons offense is "Will Irby" and a decision to use a running back by committee (Jerry Davidson & Charles Bell) or toss to a receiving corp by committee (Irby just spreads the wealth around).
Both defenses are respectable and have the potential to have their day in court. Also, the game will be played with no major injury issues for either team.
The teams look to be really very even. For some reason, Lansing just cannot find the combination to open the lock. They trail in their rivalry series 5 wins to 11 losses. Last year, they found the way to shake the monkey ... this year they have seemed to lost the key again. Madison has had stronger teams in the past but has also found ways to go far in the playoffs with underrated teams, witness their 2008 Imperial Bowl appearance. Head Coach Freddie Cristal knows how to play the big games.
Give the guys your thoughts ... its tough playing a team three times in one season and finding something new to do.
