But the focus this week has to be containing the QB on defense and not turning it over on offense. Union should have the advantage in the skill positions and with a good performance at the LOS, GC gonna have their hands full. But if Bears come out slow and think they’ll just show up and win, it’ll be a repeat of last year. GC is too good to take lightly, too well coached. That staff has got them going the right way for sure, very well coached preparation wise as well as in game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like In the first game last year, we thought we’d show up with the “U” and win. I didn’t feel that in 2nd game but GC just wore us out.

They played very sound fundamental football and capitalized on their opportunities while Union squander theirs and turned the ball over. Union may have more talent on paper but that doesn’t mean anything when the whistle blows. They can’t afford to rest on their laurels, the M7 race hasn’t really even started and goal number one is winning the M7. Do that then maybe some other goals start making the list.

FBDevotee 34 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 In games last season the Blue Devils finished strong. I give the coaches credit for preparing their team for four quarters. Younger players tend to wear out sooner and the Bears were young last campaign; seemed real tuckered out in the last minutes of both contests with Gate City. I do think that could be a factor again this year in some Union matchups - including this week's game. As example, for anyone who saw the Science Hill game, It really looked like the Bears could match their speed but the Hill Toppers did eventually wear down Union.

S10SQUAREBODY4LIFE 239 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 I don't think Gate City depth, or anyone else in the region, compares to that of Science Hill. The best 11 for both will be playing during crunch time, early or late. Watched both of last year's games just trying to compare who's back for each team from last season. I think it'll be the better of QB head to head battles in the M7. These 2 mirror each other a lot. It'll be a tough contest none-the-less. Good luck to both, WCYB televised right?

rvtne216 278 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 Union holds a 10-5 edge in the series. Before Gate City swept the Bears in 2022, Union had won the previous eight contests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before Gate City swept the Bears in 2022, Union had won the previous eight contests. There was a few close ones in that 8 game stretch. In 2015 Gate City was up on Union 27-13 and on the verge of going up 34-13 in the 3rd quarter. A Gate City turnover (may have been on downs or just a turnover) brought some life back to Union. Union came from behind and won 34-27. In 2016 Gate City had Union 21-13 at half time and Union won 33-28. In 2019 in the playoffs Gate City led Union much of the game like 19-13 and Union won 20-19. I told a few people last season that Gate City was overdue for a win against Union and it wouldn’t surprise me if they did. They did. I think it’s close for the first half and then Union starts to wear them down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GC_Quincy 582 Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 Gate City plays quite a few underclassmen also. That being said, I can see Union blowing them out of the water after last years games but then again every time I've ever expected us to get whipped we seem to find a way to be in the game. Luckily I'm not a betting man. SXSW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to go toe to toe with him usually ends bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's been longer than 2015, you'll notice a big difference. New scoreboard, goal posts, 25 second clocks and visitors' fieldhouse, concessions and restrooms.

Union_Fan 2,155 Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 No doubt that GC has some good skill players, but the difference between this year and last year is Union is much, much better in every position. Bigger, stronger line. QB WAY more accurate throwing the ball. Skill players older, faster and more mature. This year's team is just that, a team. Playing much more cohesive than the last few years.
