You're out of line big guy, you need to take a step back... You're the one that came into this thread looking for trouble.

Hoping to see 2nd team get some reps this week after watching them guard the water coolers the past 2 weeks! ;) 

The difference in this game will be experience and match ups. I keep hearing in this thread that Graham has weapons and yes they have a couple but the matchup's are not in their favor. Graham hasn't been tested, they've played a down Beavers team and Tazewell... Richlands defense has to contain Cousins and keep an eye on the Cooke kid. If Richlands can do that and JLA can get his head out of his you know what, Richlands wins this one by 2 TD's... If they don't... It'll be a close one but I still think Richlands pulls it off... But what do I know, I'm just a Richlands fan! lol 

Graham wins this one by as many as they want. 

The only issue with keying on Howie is what do you do about Ball? lol

Obviously I'm biased to Richlands... But I just don't think Union is the team that they were last year... I keep hearing how good this Sophomore QB is in Turner but the big thing to remember is he's a Sophomore... Zero experience... He's got a stud WR in Mitchell, I wont deny that... That kid is obviously one of the best athletes in SWVA. But this year I just don't think the talent matches up... We all know that Mitchell is probably going to line up with Howie... Even when that happens what about Scottie Ball that is just as athletic with 5x the hands Howie has? What about Booker in the flat? What about Chase running the ball? It doesn't match up for me... 
 
In the end... If Richlands stops the run and covers 82... I don't think Union can keep up.. They will definitely score some points, but I think Richlands wins by 14. 
 
Richlands 41-27
