UnionGuy2017 182 Report Share Posted October 24, 2022 I’d say Abingdon should be favored by 7-10 points. The way they are built as a team typically is the kind of team that gives Union problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gridiron60 2,555 Report Share Posted October 24, 2022 A win at Bullit is always a hard out but Abingdon almost beat Ridgeview so I won’t be surprised if it’s a close one that comes down to the wire. Tons of penalties on Union could swing it to the Falcons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve not seen a player cross the goal line this year too busy looking for a flag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S10SQUAREBODY4LIFE 239 Report Share Posted October 24, 2022 One score game more than likely. Union appears to be playing a little more soundly as of late. Penalty yards kept wise alive and killed their own drivers last game along a couple of busted plays. Abingdon big, strong, fast, but honestly looked a little soft. They're still a solid ball team that gave it away VS rv. They had several chances. Looked very similar to union's past couple losses. Good luck 28-27 ?

Not sure where you got the soft impression other than that’s the stereotype given to Abingdon over the years. The RV kids said that Abingdon was the most physical team they’ve played against this year. The Falcons were called for several targeting and plain ole dirty plays and on their pick route their kid took a dangerous shot at a RV kids head with his elbow in a crack back. The whole night they absolutely were going for head shots. Maybe they just really dislike RV but I wouldn’t call them soft. Cheap shot artists perhaps. Hopefully it is a clean game. Abingdon doesn’t have a passing game and with the exception of a handful of plays we’re containment was lost the RV defense did a good job of getting them off the field. I expect that the key for Union will be to throw it enough to keep them honest. This should be a good game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S10SQUAREBODY4LIFE 239 Report Share Posted October 25, 2022 Maybe soft is the wrong word. Just didn't seem that physical watching it. I thought Ridgeview looked more physical than abingdon. Cheap shots, several low blocks not called. it don't mean you're physical because you crackback. Just didn't see a lot of fb/hb busting up in there and smashing lb's. #40 #10 at lb at times was pretty tough but overall they looked like they didn't want to mix it up much and swap paint but who does anymore? Line play was tough at times, I like 65 more than Lucas. They'll bring their a- game to the park. I think everyone does, it's a tough place to walk out of with a W. Hope for a clean game, and for the love of God a good and a consistent officiating crew on these big games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union_Fan 2,155 Report Share Posted October 25, 2022 Union has been way too inconsistent this year to predict anything about this game. All I can do is hope for a win, 1 point or 20 points, doesn't matter. Playing at the Park has to be worth a few points, I hope.

I'm seeing less and less people each week and now with the weather cooling it'll only get smaller. Guess we got spoiled with the teams in the mid to late teens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said watch them come out and throw it. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds simple, but Union is anything but simple. Play like the '85 Bears one week and "Our Lady of Perpetual Health" CreamPuffs the next. The Bears have made strides in several areas, but they still have improvements to make. I think it's a tossup with only the slightest edge to Union. The most consistent area has been the run defense. If Abingdon is as limited to that as they appear that might be a plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there’s a lot of things to think about. What are both teams’ tendencies? Does Union do better at home or away? If you were to pick, whom would you pick? I hear Union is a running team. How does Abingdon do against the run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I've been unable to watch Abingdon myself, so I'm not really sure what they have going on. Union is a run heavy team, and sometimes they look good and sometimes they don't, even within the same game. Definitely a home team, which will help. I think it's a tossup.

UnionGuy2017 182 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 I am so impressed and proud of the performance tonight. Union played with confidence, threw the ball all over the field, and the defense was extremely physical and looking to make a play on the ball everytime. I know abingdon isn’t the abingdon of the last few years but Union has played worse teams this season and had nowhere near the performance. This is what we have all been ranting and raving about all season. For whatever reason it seems the coaching staff, Atleast for tonight, turned a 180 and changed it all around. I still think Graham is the favorite, but based on what I saw tonight (maybe premature I know) I will take Union to win at Legion field or Rose Ridge.

Dawg pride 4 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 They done good the blocking in the middle is still awful but the outside runs and quick passes made up for it tonight. The playoffs are gonna be a totally different though gonna have to step it up. Turner needs to have a middle drill and find the best blockers and put them on the field. We are gonna have to run the middle post season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 Best game Bears have played all year. If they are hitting their stride, gonna be a tough out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said it all year. Just like Glenvar. 3 loss team that runs the ball well, lost close in 3 games or fairly close, inexperience and youth on D growing up, and the weather is getting colder and running teams love the cold. People made it a 2 team race in the region all year with Graham and RV and its always been a 3 team race imo. (I know GC is good and can win the district) but GC is 1 year away imo.
