BUT DOVER BEAT WOODWARD 62-0!!!!!
Man, I don't usually involve myself with such awful smack talking before they game, but if Dover fans really want to mock Ursuline for not making the playoffs, I have to step in. This pretty much assures the fact that you know absolutely nothing about football so everyting you say for the next 6 days I will laugh at with a heavy guffaw and then feel better once I see Mooney has won the game handily after another school's fans have claimed that they are the team that is talented enough/ has a good enough scheme to beat Mooney. Mooney has beaten at least 5 teams better than Dover, name ONE team Dover has played that has prepared them for Mooney. Seriously, NAME ONE. This is not to say that Dover has no chance, but seriously....having a chance sort of implies actually having faced similar competition before.
I'm sure this post will be quoted and then mocked for such arrogance and "oh man this is bulletin board material for Dover" BS, but I bet no one responds with the team Dover has beaten that has prepared them for Mooney because that team doesn't exist. Dover has played a cream puff schedule.......beef it up next time and maybe you will be prepared for the playoffs. As it is....Dover seems to be content with being awesome in the regular season and falling short in the post season every single year. Good luck with that.
We so sorry Kemosabe.
Tri Valley is still alive in D2 Region 7. They are not as good as the might Mooney (no one is) but they are not a cream puff. If they could get the best that Zanesville has to offer they probably would be pretty solid. By the way Zanesville did play pretty tight w/ the 2nd best that Youngstown has to offer. How did Mooney fair against the Irish. I know Ursuline beat Zanesville by less than a touchdown. The Tornadoes beat those cream puff Blue Devils by 2 scores
If Dover pulled from all of T-County, we could play a schedule comparable to Mooney. Unfortunately we do not, and we play a pretty solid schedule that earned us the #2 seed in the region. The Tornadoes will play their a** off come friday night. Will it be good enough to beat the Cardinals? We shall see but based on what many have said and what most have seen probably not. But if they play a great game they have a shot. And who they played the first 12 weeks really means absolutely jack. What does matter is the following:
Can Dover get a couple stops against the Mooney vaunted ground game. They are going to line it up and stuff it down our throat. They will score plenty of points I am sure. Dover needs to get a few stops. Probably will need some help via penalties or turnovers also.
Can Mooney slow down the Dover spread attack. You ask what makes Dover's offense different than other spread teams? They don't have extraordinary talent. But the QB is pretty legit. They have solid receivers. They will go 5 wide pretty much the entire game. They run their stuff as good as anyone else runs it. Their line holds on every play, just ask our previous opponents. The screens seem obvious, but they block it well and you better tackle well in space or else Dover's nonathletic boys will turn a 3 yard play into 15 yards. Really, the offense if built to give a less talented, smaller, slower team a shot in a game like this. It's the reason that the Mighty Big Red has struggled to slow Dover down.
Dover will pretty much have to play perfect Friday night, and maybe even hope Mooney struggles a bit. But we've seen it happen before. The Tornadoes have a punchers chance every Friday night, and we'll take that shot. Go Dover
