The Yellow Jackets (2-1) will face a stiff challenge tonight as the go on the road to face a resurgent Bryan Station team (2-1).
The Defenders are coming off a tough 35-31 loss to Johnson Central last week, while the Yellow Jackets played their best game of the year, beating Montgomery County 49-0.
Bryan Station features a big, fast squad. I heard a radio commentator last week say that the Defenders look like a small college team. Woodford County is a relatively small team and Bryan Stations' bulk could prove problematic.
The Jacket offense has proved it can move the football and put points on the board, so the game will hinge on which Woodford defensive unit shows up.
The Yellow Jacket defensive squad gave up 76 points in its first two games, but completely shut down Montgomery County last week.
Bryan Station has a huge offensive weapon in running back Patrick Cornett. He's rushed for 500 yards in just three games and averages 219.7 all-purpose yards. The Jackets looked vulnerable to the run in their first two games, but turned that around last week. If the defense can take up where it left off against the Indians, they should be able to win their fifth in a row over the Defenders.
The Woodford offense will also need to put together some sustained drives and keep the defense off the field. If the defensive unit is forced to play a lot of minutes, that big Defender offensive line may wear them down
