In case you haven't heard, the Shrine Bowl is on Saturday here in Casper. My colleague Austin Ward and I are all over it this week -- we'll be bringing you stories from each camp each day all the way up to the big game.

The early dope has this one as South speed vs. North size. The North is by far the bigger team, with 15 players weighing at least 210 pounds. The South only has five at 210 or more, but will try to make up for that with its speed and quickness (even though the North team has its fare share of speed as well).

As we saw last year, though, this game is usually defined by one big playmaker. Last year, that playmaker was Douglas' Blake Richendifer, who was the offensive MVP and scored all three touchdowns in the South's 20-17 victory.

So... when you look at this year's rosters, who do you think are the biggest playmakers? Who on these lists has the chance to put up an MVP-type performance on Saturday?

(By the way, after watching the North practice, I think the big playmaker on offense could be Jackson's Alex Bush. They've got him playing at wideout and, as unassuming as he might look, he's quick and aggressive but has soft hands. After I go to the South practice today, I'll give you my thoughts on that squad, as well.)

Here are the rosters for Saturday's game. Post your comments below.
