Comments: Coach Sportsdouche has been riding an incredible season that could end up with not just a conference title, but a national championship. With 28 seniors, the team can put forward an all senior lineup on both offense and defense. The team has been more balanced between running and throwing the ball than they were earlier in the season.

Comments: Coach Fla dave comes back to Saint Joseph's to see if he can get the team back to where it was. During his last 24 seasons at the helm, Saint Joseph's finished the season in the top 10 to include one championship and another four title game appearances. The offense is almost balance with just 7 more passes than rushes.
Tonight's Prediction: The "smart dog" remembers Saint Joseph's during Coach Fla dave's previous time. We were in a neighborly battle since I was at Indianapolis. We met five times, all in the playoffs, with Coach Fla dave holding a 3-2 advantage. Then again, the "smart dog" also remember the drumming Morehouse put on his Hillsdale's team this season. I went against the 28 seniors once this season, but since I am the "smart dog" I learned my lesson. Morehouse 42 - St Joseph's 17.
