Thanks for that correction on location. Great synopsis of the game as I watched after my son's game that night. Libertyville needs to clean their camera lens on NFHS feed as it was cloudy telecast for the playoff game last week. I think the key for any team playing Libertyville is can they get pressure on Schambow. Lake Forest is the only team that really made an extra effort to do it and it paid off with a couple of unforced errors. Cary Grove did a great job against Lib in playoffs last year utilizing 3 down linemen and 6 backers essentially taking away the short passing lanes Lib likes throwing to. Was not impressed with Lake Forest when we played them but maybe they didn't put the foot down on the gas in a meaningless game for them a few weeks ago. Van Camp is a big sturdy QB and WR's Markee and Hartline can make plays but run game seemed non existent. I expect Lib to patch up some holes from last meeting and win by a couple TD's. I will see ya there weather looks like it will be nice for early November.Lake forest was at home last time but yeah still a very impressive win. Some keys to the game (I watched the first game)
1. Can lville get the running game going? According to maxpreps, 15 carries for 14 yards in the first game. Starting RB was out and is now back so will see what kind of difference that makes.
2. Who gets the early momentum and can they maintain it? Lville went up 21-7 in the first quarter and then LF picked themselves off the canvas ala Tyson Fury during his 1st deontay wilder fight
2. Can Lake Forest get pressure on Schambow like they did in the first game? Believe they had 5 sacks including a huge strip sack in the second half. I believe Schambow had been sacked less than 5 times all season prior to that game.
3. Which team is more disciplined? Lville shot themselves repeatedly with offensive penalties in the first game that stalled out a lot of their drives.
4. Who will make the better adjustments on defense? Both teams went up and down the field in the first game
Should be a fantastic game, wish we could get some announcers on NFHS…
