Nederland at Dayton Predictions

[AggiesAreWe]

This will be for the 10-5A D2 #3 seed.

Massey projections has this one 38-17 Nederland.

 

Thoughts? (and I don't mean the coach and player bashing thoughts)

[Darth Texas]

Nederland should take it. I thought they would dominate Texas city, so no prediction here. Nederland wins by at least 1.

[Eazy]

Ned by 13 for the 3 seed.  Should not lose this one. 

[spidersal]

Dogs should win unless they play like they did against Texas City. For some unknown reason they do not play well against those two teams

[Smashem1984]

Unfortunately I feel the Broncos take this one from the DOGS. BIG NED has to many internal issues they have to fix before they can play as a Team. I predict the DOGS to finish at #4 Seed

Nederland has the talent and potential to be a much better football team, but there are some fundamentals that need to improve. Defensively, we have to become better tacklers and consistently finish plays by bringing guys to the ground. Offensively, we need longer, more sustained drives that keep our defense off the field and allow us to establish some momentum. Most importantly, we have to eliminate the costly penalties that put us behind the chains and take away opportunities.

At the end of the day, it’s about executing the fundamentals, playing disciplined football, and being more consistent in all three phases of the game. The potential is there; now it’s about putting it all together.

Nederland defense struggles. 

Ned - 20

Dayton - 26

28 - 14, Nederland

Nederland plays well against purple and white.  Nederland is the better team and will win.  The Mid-County Madness hangover is gone.  Remember, these kids are 14-18 years old and it's human nature for a letdown after a big week of hype.  Can't explain it.  It just happens to both PN-G and Nederland.  TXC benefitted from the post madness hangover.  Nederland's DL will get cranked up and play well.

Big Ned will destroy  Dayton as they dog walk them to at least a one point victory     " no doubt" !

Nederland should win. I like Dayton and they always play a great game against Nederland. The problem this season is Nederlands strengths are exactly Daytons weaknesses. Good Luck Nederland, and Good Luck to our Purple Brothers. Here is wishing a safe game.

The last 2 sentences are everything.  Couldn't of said it much better. Hope Nederland puts it all together and puts it on em.

I have the same feeling about this game that I did when Ned played TC. I was one of the few who predicted a TC victory, which happened. 
 

I hope Nederland can get it together, but I’m feeling that Dayton will come away with the win in a close one.

That's very possible.  Seems to be no love for Dayton around here, but they seem to always play Nederland a close game.  ... Just like TC.
