It's not the start that the Tallmadge High School Blue Devils wanted to have.

Tallmadge, one of the favorites to win the Suburban League this football season, has a record of 1-2. The Blue Devils have lost to Ravenna and Ellet, while defeating the Garfield Golden Rams 35-14.

Blue Devils head coach Joe Vassalotti says his team will be ready for Suburban League play this week when they host the Revere Minutemen.

Vassalotti says one of the reasons they lost to Ravenna and Ellet was the lack of a running game. Vassalotti says the Blue Devils are known for a strong running game and they need to get back to that.

Vassalotti says even though Revere is 0-3 on the season, they will play hard and bring with them a strong rushing attack.

You'll be able to hear Friday night's game between Tallmadge and Revere on 1590 WAKR beginning at 7 pm.
