BUCKEYE (0-4, 0-1): Coach Billy Burke said the problem with his defense against the run comes down to simple math. The Bucks are giving up a Medina County-high 243.0 yards on the ground per contest. “With us it’s an interception or big stop keeping us from winning,” he said. “We have third and 9 or 10 and we can’t get off the field. We’re waiting for someone to make that big play. How many times have we had the ball dangling in front of us and can’t get it done?”…No doubt, the Bucks will have a spy on Paul Fackler when they’re on defense. Fackler has accounted for 78 of Lutheran West’s 121 points this year. The senior has thrown for eight touchdowns and has five rushing touchdowns so far this season. “We’ve got to take away their quarterback,” Burke said. “He’ll be the best player on the field.”… The last time Buckeye was 0-4 was 1992. The Bucks finished 2-8.
…Chris Boutton is back at long snapper and will platoon at linebacker as well… The Bucks have won the last 10 meetings against the Longhorns and have outscored them 93-33. During that time, Cory Reisner has scored 30 of those points with his brother, Chris, putting up another eight. Last year, Cory Reisner had 276 all-purpose yards (180 rushing, 86 kickoff return and 10 receiving) to go along with four touchdowns. LW: L, 14-7 Clearview. TW: at Lutheran West (3-1, 1-0).
