Ready for some touchdowns? At Amherst, be prepared to see many.
Admiral King scored on its first offensive play, as first-year quarterback Chad Hall hit Anthony Harrison on a big pass play during the Admirals’ 13-7 win in their half of football with the Comets.
Amherst showed what its offense could do, as Brandon Kish and Brandon Morgan ran all over the field. The question, though, is the defense.
After Admiral King scored so quickly, its running game controlled the clock and the rest of the half. Granted, Amherst’s biggest linemen are on offense and the defense was undersized against Admiral King’s big offensive line, but King has never been much of a prolific-scoring offense. Amherst won’t play easy teams in the Southwestern Conference, which makes me think: How many touchdowns will be scored in most of Amherst’s games?
My guess is a lot.
For the Elyria game in Week 1, I’m predicting the Pioneers and Comets combine for at least seven touchdowns. Elyria’s offense could use some momentum and high-scoring games are looking like a trend this year in Amherst.
