nrv_football 81 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 If Union can tackle they should be fine. Appomattox is very athletic and has a ton of speed. The running backs hit the hole fast and will spin out of tackles. Union has to wrap up in order to have a chance. Appomattox run defense is very stout and it will be very hard to get to the edge on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWVAgridiron 1,469 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Union will need to match them score for score and hopefully force them to make a mistake. You're not gonna stop them from scoring so you gotta answer everytime. Appos defense is not that big, but they are very fast and swarm to the ball better than any team I've seen in awhile. Don't try any outside sweeps or they'll shut it down. Run straight at them or pass the ball. Their pass defense didn't seem that great. Giles only attempted 3 passes and had guys open all 3 times but the tailback didn't have enough time to find them. Union does have a chance, but they must play flawless and force Appo to make mistakes. They are well coached, and play good, disciplined football.

ghos88t 68 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Look to see Union have several 15 to 20 play drives and eat the clock. I believe Coach Turner knows a "little bit" about a double tight T formation with some unbalanced line or some double tight Power I. Appomattox can't score if they don't have the ball. Grind it out and they'll get anxious on offense and make a few mistakes. futbolking 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leatherhead Larry 530 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Union finally collapses and defeats themselves after having a halftime lead. Playing not to lose and a poor kicking gives Appomattox the victory. Raiders 35 Bears 32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futbolking 766 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Union will need to control possession and capitalize on their offensive possesions to win. They are a team that is capable of doing just that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWVAgridiron 1,469 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 To add to my post, put some pressure on the QB. He doesn't like to scramble but if needed he will try getting on the edges and if he does get out in the open it'll be hard to catch him. He also predetermines who he wants to throw to. As soon as the ball is snapped he will stare down the receiver he wants to throw to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singlewinger92 0 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Don't see it being close, sorry. If I'm wrong I'm wrong and I'll eat crow but they won't be beat in 2A. Three score game. Dan River played the close due to nasty field conditions. only chance is to catch them on wet, muddy field to slow them done. That's the only way.

trumpet1988 289 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 The closeness of the game and whether or not Union wins will probably depend on Union's game plan and their ability to execute it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverRat24 274 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Appo not getting the ball but about 5 times the whole game will work as good as wet field conditions....play keep away. If Union can pound the ball on them and eat some clock I think they have a chance. I'm gonna say Appo wins but I think its pretty close, Turner will have a good game plan: Appo 35 Union 27 BigWinners 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
