UNION#ATW 105 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 Best of luck to Union and everybody making the trip to Gate City today!! In the past years they always play Union tough it's at their house this year I'm expecting them to be better than they was against John Battle... GO BEARS!!!

BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 26-6 final Union wins. Union was able to run whenever they wanted, GC got inside the Union 40 five or six times but could only manage six points. A couple big grounding penalties crippled GC drives. It was 4th and almost 40 at one point. but seems like Union is gonna try Bunch at QB, he took all the snaps I saw and I watched entire second half UNION#ATW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union_Fan 2,155 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 Union has skill players everywhere, but young on the OL, and it showed at times. D was good against the run, but too much cushion on the pass. That gave GC multiple opportunities, but weren't able to exploit consistently. I think if I were GC, I'd put Jenkins in at QB and see where his athletic ability takes me.

JDHoss 249 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 Got to watch it on a rainy afternoon here in Florida. The resolution and camera work was awful, but better than not being able to watch at all. I liked the GC QB, but he really needs to play a little smarter when trying to escape pressure. I'm guessing between the sacks and grounding penalties, he might have lost 80 yards. Maxpreps has the Lomax kid listed at 209. Is he really that big? Maxpreps rosters can be notoriously inaccurate sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's okay to throw it away out of the pocket but it's gotta get passed LOS and both times he was short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I think Gibson can contribute quite a bit at WR and that gives Union a way to get Bunch on field. Union_Fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarhead24219 440 Report Share Posted March 7, 2021 Union is starting to get their football legs under them, you have to remember that some of these players have had very few practices and are at least 12-14 practices behind the other teams , Lt are they the best in the Mnt. 7 ? No not right now but come a few more days they very well may be, Central should be but Abingdon opened my eyes, don’t count out Ridgeview either , everyone’s talking about this or that , Union will have a say in who advances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You literally can't throw ball away it has to be near a receiver no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see making it harder as you move up levels but having the most restrictive penalty at the lowest level makes little sense to me.

I didn't know about that rule until we went to Letcher and they called it on us and I was raising hell but the refs were right THAT time. I guess if your a QB and can't find a receiver you're suppose to stand there and let a blitzing LB knock the hell out of you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's crazy to think the NFL and CFB have more rules protecting and allowing the QB to not get smashed than HS. I think the NFL rule works perfect, it allows QBs to get rid of the ball and not get crushed but still penalizes the QB if he doesn't move out of the pocket or get near eligible receiver.

Or......why punish the defense for out executing or scheming the offense by allowing the offense to just throw it away instead of the defense creating the negative yardage play they earned? sup_rbeast and Ryan4VT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they only have 3 seniors starting.

Hows that punishing a defense? You didn't sack the QB and you couldn't keep the QB in the pocket. If you allow the QB to escape the pocket and he throws it away, you didn't out-execute the offense. The defense didn't earn those yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defense isn't getting punished QB is throwing ball away so they're losing the down BigWinners 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had several impressive plays, but the GC player that stood out the most in this game and the previous 2 was Carson Jenkins. He is very comparable to Caleb Herron from the 2014 team.

Still, they will have astrong D and a tough running game. The talent is there, the maturity just isnt there for them to be M7 champs.
