This means both teams with fewer overall possessions. That means.....little margin for error when on offense. A run team hates 2nd and 20 due to a holding call. It cripples their drive. A run team hates a turnover after driving 50 yds and killing 5 minutes of clock only to get nothing. Graham is a little more dynamic passing than Union, so I favor them because of this, but that's about it. Toss up type game. Turnovers and the team on offense that gets holding calls that destroys their already limited offensive possessions will decide it in my opinion. True if Union gets a holding call the drive is over. They tried passing some tonight but it was pretty much a disaster BandanaVTDavis4321 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they get down two plus scores and have to throw, you gotta think the youngster gets the reps right? It would only make sense, he's a better passer while Anderson is more seasoned and a dynamic runner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure if that’s accurate but it was a heck of a lot. The D line was on point tonight. Graham has some freshmen making some waves too. I still think it will be tough next week & hope we end up with at least a point more when the clock hits 00:00. I agree. Union @ Union will be a tough task. Can't wait to see these 2 teams match up. We will find out just how good that Graham defense is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnionGuy2017 182 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 Assuming Unions backfield is healthy I think they have solid chances of winning. However, I‘d probably put the line at Graham -4.5. What gives them the advantage is they can score in more ways than Union can. If Union needs a touchdown in the final 2:00, it could be tough with the run first offense. This Union teams reminds me of the 2017 team in many ways with just one GLARING difference. 2017 had a NFL player touching the ball every snap.

I feel like it will be a barn burner but this group could completely fall apart. Not sure how they will handle the atmosphere & pressure at Bullit Park. It's now 31-28 in favor of Graham as of today. It has Radford vs Galax at 28-24 in favor of Radford. Their website relies on thousands of data points (scores) where teams play each other and then teams played playing against other teams, etc. As the season prolongs, the accuracy goes way up. This is why they normally don't start projecting scores until mid Sep, because there is nothing to go on. For example, Union can link to Hampton High by multiple opponents through hundreds of teams where they can get back individually to Hampton and Union, and project a score, but it takes multiple weeks of football to do that, and historically after about week 5, it's alarmingly accurate.

It's got to be close or around 100ish, so that's 33 yds per game?
