Duke2015 451 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Even though Union is up 28-0 at half they are flat as can be on offense but the defense has played lights out especially considering GC has had great field position due to our lack of a kicking game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnionGuy2017 182 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 I’d say chandler sat out as a precaution. He was running/jumping pretty good on the sideline and seemed to want to go back in. redtiger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearsFan88 117 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 The 3rd quarter was…..interesting. Back and forth turnovers. Gotta clean that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnionGuy2017 182 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Obviously PLENTY of sloppy play tonight and improvement opportunities. However, I wanna give a shout-out to some positives. The defense was put in several sudden change situations and in bad field position but obviously didn’t allow a point. They held gate city to less than 100 yards and only 6 first downs. 3 of those coming by penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking like the offense is gonna be decided by if Chandler is healthy. Special teams is dreadful, need to just go for 2 rest of the way and just kick the damn thing out of bounds on kickoffs and give them the ball at the 35.

Union_Fan 2,155 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 I don't get the pooch kickoffs. You'd think someone could at least kick a line drive towards the goal line. Maybe they just have that much faith in the defense. They'd rather the opposing team start at the 40 than take a chance on return for a TD. Who knows? Really need to work on the XPs or just go for 2.

BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Special teams could end up costing Union in a close game that really matters. Can’t kick a FG in a slugfest low scoring game, not reliable on PAT and kickoffs are a mess. In a close game all that matters and Union does not of it well.

goose111874 967 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 I would get a kid from the soccer team atp. Tell him all he has to do is show up for 1 practice a week and work on extra points and FGs and don't have to run or hit anyone. Just kick the ball!!!!

I wondered if the pooch kicks last week to Graham were intentional which was probably smart or if the kid just couldn’t kick it well. Our kicker didn’t do well on FGs last week so I really have no place to question yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've tried several kids and multiple tactics since the first scrimmage. None have been consistent. What you saw against Graham is what we've done weekly. Big weak spot for sure!

UnionGuy2017 182 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Just to follow up on Chandler.. he’s fine. Turners quote from the paper said he could have went back in and he was actually “begging” to go in and play some more. redtiger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long trip, RV the next week, etc. almost to the bye so let’s get healthy for RV then regroup to close it out. Keith gotta be 100% for RV if they wanna chance to win. And he needs to be playing defense as well, he’s so important there to set the tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 And the bye week should be exclusively kicker tryouts. We gotta be able to make PATs and the occasional 20 yard FG if they truly have aspirations to win the region or more. Unchained 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalNoise 182 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 Speaking of turnovers, the pass to huff should’ve been ruled incomplete, rather than a fumble. that’s just from my eyes at the scoreboard end zone anyways. I never thought he had sole possession of the ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
