Does Anyone Care About Masuk vs. Conard?

Of course. It's just that down here, that big Staples-Bunnell match-up happened. The Panthers should be happy that little attention is being paid to their game in West Hartford tonight.


What's there to know about Conard? Sean Patrick Bowley today considered them to be Pomperaugish, a team that pounds the ball from the I formation. Its quarterback, Nigel Gaynor, has run for about twice as many yards as it has passed for. Its leading rusher, Matt Markese, gained 310 of his team-high 1,205 yards (on 178 carries) in its win two weeks ago against Hall.

And the Chieftains have been burying opponents of late, having given up just 21 points while scoring 114 in November. They also do not take part in Thanksgiving Day football, so they are well-rested coming off that win over its crosstown rival.

From what I'm gathering though, they haven't faced a passing attack this season. So how Conard reacts to the Masuk spread offense should be interesting to say the least.

By the way, can't get to the game? You can listen live at 6:30 at 1290 AM WCCC in Hartford, either on the radio or via live stream.
