High schoolers play canadian rules football; 3 downs, wider field, 5 yards of space for the punt returner.

It's cool and all, but after a while, you want those 4 downs of football. I mean, I didn't mind myself cause I played defense and less offensive snaps the better, but if you're team can't move the ball on offence, you end up with lame scores like 7-0, 7-3, or 3-0. Hell we almost had a game end 0-0 if not for a last minute safety... Lol

It's not the case in Quebec. We play 4 downs.

I remember watching Canadian rules as a kid and loving the "no fair catch" rule; is that still the case?

Game kicks off in 20 mins on ESPN3 in the US and USA Football's YouTube channel outside the US.

Greer is all of 6'3" and maybe on his way to 6'4". He's a lot skinnier than I thought he'd be, but definitely has a great frame to grow into. I think he could play any of the LB spots, but I'd be really surprised if he ever moved to DE.

On the other hand, Hayes is definitely not the 6'5" I've seen him listed as. Sykes is probably 6'1"-6'1.5". I don't think he's 6'2".

But, speaking of massive, Montel McBride is MASSIVE. Craig Evans is also a big boy.

Martini has that Kuechly frame to him. It will be interesting to see how he moves with other BCS football players. His coach swears he's a very fluid player and his tape looks decent. Something to follow over the next couple of years.

I know this game is on ESPN3 live, but are they going to have the replay available to watch on demand for ESPN3? My roommates are making me watch the Olympic opening ceremony.

These announcers are pretty sorry. Sykes just blitzed and and they said it was someone else. Our guys look good so far. Quick.

Let me tell you, Tyler Newsome is a hell of a lot better kicker than the US kicker.

Martini looks like he has a great motor. He's always on the move and pursues to the whistle. I can't wait for next season.

These announcers are ass

Martini is huge, but looks like the best LB there IMO.

THese announcers just completely surrendered on trying to pronounce these French Canadians name, lol. Only if he has an anglo name do they identify the Canadian.

22-7 US.1:42 left in first half. Canada scored only on a muffed handoff that got kicked into the endzone and recovered.
