Irishman 30 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Great game by soph. QB Grant Johnson 33-46-2 474 yards. Johnston, sophTerry and jr.Beck. They will be fun to watch next year, as they improve each week under Coach Wells. I will be at the Roanoke PH game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowTheWestWasWon2017 24 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 I woukd think Abingdon would destroy Blacksburg. I don't get any newspaper nor have I read anything score wise. I believe Bruins lose big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1bburgfan 41 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 The game was closer than the final score. Blacksburg figured out how to keep Abingdon offensive numbers down, they made their scoring drives 50 yards or less. Anyone with the penalty yardage, Blacksburg had to be over 100.

EHC87 60 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 It was an exciting game. I don't have the stats to back me up but it seemed like Blacksburg had a 2 to 1 time of possession ratio....maybe more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigO 316 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 It sounded like AHS was very weak in pass coverage across the middle. Hopefully Reed can shore that up. I'm sure Mance will see that easily. With a QB like Asbury and his group of WRs that could spell big game for their O. Luckily for AHS they have a few games to make changes before playing RHS.

1bburgfan 41 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 dont worry about watching film, just dont let them start from the 50 yard line or better every series and start yours from your own 20. And recover 2 onside kicks and score 0 points on those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1bburgfan 41 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 no , But I 'm a native Blacksburg Indian. And everything I have posted is FACT. What team wouldn't like to start on the 50 or better every series. I'm not the only one in the burg that feels this way , just the vocal one. 1bburgfan must be a digruntied, ex coach at Blacksburg, from his remarks on Coach Wells.

fatherfalcon 7 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Blacksburg was an excellent team. Very bad call going for it on 4th down with very short field CRAZY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon Mania 235 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 It was back and forth for the first half. Abingdon certainly pulled ahead in the 4th. The Terry kid is one of the fastest high school players I've seen. The turning point in the game was the INT inside the red zone. After that, all the momentum swung the Falcons way and it appeared like they weren't going to look back. Blacksburg was definitely a quality opponent. They look a lot like Richlands I assume Coach Wells brought that mentality with him. But I give ton's of credit to Abingdon,they never quit,never looked out of the game,and finished strong with a 20-0 run in the final quarter.

falconfan1 125 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 AHS showed tons of grit on Friday. Blacksburg has some very good players. I know what the statistics say about kicking onside and going for it on 4th down blah, blah, blah. I just don't think that it is a sound decision. I think that it is very important to play the field position game, especially when you are holding Abingdon's offense in check and take away any momentum they may have.

BigO 316 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 I wasn't at the game but I listened on the radio. It certainly sounded like Wells did a great job of finding a pass defense weakness and exploiting it. Sounded like they had receivers open across the middle all night. Did AHS not adjust at half for that? Mance sees that film and he's chomping at the bit to unleash Asbury and crew. But AHS will have their hands full with Graham before that. I'm just glad to see AHS playing up to their ability with this new staff. I have flashbacks to the days of Bowles and cringe at the thought of how badly they would have been beaten by a number of the teams we have beaten since Reed and crew came. It's been nice to go to games and not feel defeated before driving in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Mania 235 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 AHS definitely stepped it up in the second half. Pass rush was better and coverage. AHS also forced BBurg into several mistakes and capitalized on them. Not sure how that film would help Mance but you prepare for every team differently. The Falcons have made measurable improvements on defense from last year and get better each week this season. It appeared they started doing the little better the second half of the BBurg game. I don't take anything away from the Bruins, they're fast and have some really good athletes. The Terry kid is the real deal and there are a few others that are playmakers on that squad. I would say OL play was their Achilles heel. Our D-Line was just better off the ball the second half. Lots of pressure and disruption.

BigO 316 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 I think film helps coaches immensely. Otherwise, why look at it? The QB for BBurg threw for 474 yds. I'm a fan of AHS, and of this coaching staff. But when you have a QB like Asbury with the WRs he has available, you look for opportunity through film study. In 2014 AHS diced RHS across the middle and seam routes. All night. I feel certain that opening was discovered through film study. Trust me, Mance will watch that film and even talk to Wells. He'd be a fool not to....and he ain't no fool.
