Didn’t Ben Davis destroy them earlier in the season?

Basically destroyed everyone all season including Lawrence Central who gave them all they wanted last night after losing to BD by 35 pts., just 2 weeks ago.   Back in Sept., BD defeated Warren Central 45-16.

Tom Allen has to start him next season. Have to give it a shot for Week 1

[ThompsonHoosier 3,413]

He will get a chance to start but I just don't see it as a true freshman. A couple of big hits from NFL caliber big ten defensive players and he won't last.

I hope he at least gets a look at QB. But starting him next year behind our OL would get him killed!
