| | | | | | QB Anthony Carrothers is the best offensive player in Charlotte. He is having an MVP year. To this point, no one has been able to stop him. | | QB Christian Lemay is considered by some to be the next big thing. Despite him being a soph, he is very poised. Despite playing in front of 20000 people, he has the chance to do very well tonight. | | Funny how much changes in a year. RB Rod Chisholm (now at ASU) was the main cog in Indy's offense in 2007. Now it's back to the air show. | | People thought Hawatha Bell would have to carry the load at RB as well as LB. But RB Markel Moore is having a great season & is on pace to rush for over 1000 yards this season. | | Seriously, are there two better WR's than Lawrence Martin & Michael Rhynes. In additon to them both having great talent, they also have awesome chemistry with Carrothers. | Wide Rec | Butler has a great scheme led by Nate Charest. Indy will have their hands full against this group. | | Always been a strength with Indy. Coach Knotts is a firm believer in proteting your skilled position players. | O-Line | Steady group up front led by the seniors. Must be able to open holes for the RB's against a solid Indy defense. | | "Too Big" Williams & Jarvis Peirce are gone, but this front four hasn't missed a beat. Still haven't allowed a 100 yar rusher all season. | D-Line | Butler's secondary gets a lot of pub but it's the front-four that does damage as well. They help make it easy for the secondary. | | LB Jayme Watson is a very good football player. Excellent in tackling and wrapping up the ball carrier. He & the rest of the LB's will need to do that tonight. | Linebackers | MLB Hawatha Bell is considered by many to be the best LB in NC. I feel he will have a tremendous game tonight because great players make big plays in big games. | | Breon Thornton leads this great group. will be interesting to see how they match-up against the great scheme of Coach Newsome & the talented QB Christian Lemay. | | Nate Charest is a great corner. Him being matched up against Lawrence Martin will be the matchup of the game. | | | Who wins? Independence | | | | | | | | |
Let me first start off by saying that with Butler losing so many great players from last year, I did not think they would be nearly as good. Well I was 100% WRONG. This is a tremendous team from top-to-bottom. No weaknesses at any position. Despite Butler playing at such a high level, I haven't seen any team play as well as Indepedence this year. No team hs played them close all year & Anthony Carrothers is easily the MVP of CHSF. I think it will be a great game on a great night (weather wise), but I think Indy will prevail. CHSF.com predicts Independence over Butler 34-24.
