NO SWAIN MURPHY THREAD?
- Thread starter RIDGERUNNER#1

If Swain keeps turning the ball over like they have I wouldn't doubt that a bit.
Nah, Buzzed Lightyear would just take it over
I think Swain defense can hold Murphy up with their D-line, but not completely shut them down. My concern is also the turnovers Swain has been having. I think Swain is the better team here this year, but I don't think they can afford a turnover. It's a problem that can be fix more easily than a lack of ability, but will they do so? 🤷♂️. I will go with Swain and hope they fix the problem. 20-14.
I think this will be one of the best games in the state in 1A and will tell a lot about both.
The freshman RB and Payne the WR do also but they haven't gotten Payne the ball much.
#3 needs more touches, he really should be the wingback given Murphy's limitations in the passing game.
Yeah he definitely needs more touches. At least throw him some tunnel screens, bubble screens etc
If the Devils control the LOS, Run #3 and #13, mix in some play action and have zero turnovers they walk away winners!
I still have limited views on Murphy and that might be my issue, but I haven't seen enough of Clem to tell if he will be a big break one loose kind of back. He appears to have less speed and agility than Stalcup. I still think he will end up a great RB for Murphy, but from what little I have seen of him, he looks like he would be more of a power, breaking tackles, stiff arming people out of their cleats kind of back. Especially if he hits the weight room, his junior and senior years could be a real bruiser.
Payne is a good player, but the QB lack of arm is truly hurting his potential. He did have a one handed grab in the Fannin game that showed his danger potential if the ball gets to him, he can catch it. I just don't think he will get the ball to him if it's more than 20 yards. You Murphy folks know what you have in the pipeline better than I would though, so I will wait see.

I agree with pretty much everything you said apart from Clem's speed, but as you said your viewings on Clem aren't as extensive so that's understandable. Clem is faster than Stalcup was at the same age. Clem was running a 12.1 100 this past spring as an 8th grader, that's definitely fast for that age. He's a legit 6'0"-6'1" 175lbs as a 9th grader, so he should have a good speed and power combination as an upperclassmen if he takes things seriously in the weight room.

2 of them should have been picked. Murphy not capitalizing on #28's big return comes back to bite them.
Murphy had a strong 1st quarter but penalties and turnovers have killed them in the 2nd quarter. This game should at worst be tied right now, disappointing.
Swain does a really good job with this Maroon Devil Network channel on YouTube. It's a quality production. Kudos to those in charge.
Will probably have to buy the Swain-Robbinsville game on grahamstar if Swain pulls it out tonight. Going to have to save my gas money for a trip to Robbinsville on Dec. 1 I think.
That Swain-Robbinsville game is looking like a must watch.
Its an option not sure how nice I would call it, half the time the broadcast doesn't even work because of wifi issues
