IKE @ Dakota

IKE @ Dakota(-6.5)

We should see a well played, competitive game from these two MAC Red rivals.

Some interesting stats for this matchup. Dakota is 3-0 all time vs Ike in the playoffs, and 2-0 vs Ike in district title games.

I expect a close game that will be decided in the 4th qtr. Dakota will have to be much better offensively this time around, figure out a way to deal with Ike's speed in the front 7, and get them blocked. DHS also needs some big plays, it's too difficult to move the ball 10-12 plays down the field vs Ike consistently, their D will eventually make a stop or force a turnover.

The defense, while they did not play well the first time around, was not as bad as the score would indicate. They only gave up 17(Ike scored 7 on a fumble recovery/return). Alot of the mistakes were blown assignments(80 yd TD run comes to mind) that can and I believe will be corrected. Forcing Ike and QB Tony Zerafa into 3rd and long situations will be key.
