TN High @ Sullivan South

[SECPowerHouse]

Sir Shuff was impressive, south finally started opening up the offense with some passing, will still be 8-2 or 7-3 this season

Good win for the Vikings tonight. The tackling was much better tonight with the secondary stepping up with several big hits. #22 and #5 were as advertised, and  #7 and #44 both stepped up their game tonight. As I said before, this team will get better every game and compete in every game this season. But trust me it's up hill from here. Even Virginia High looks like they have a little somethin to work with this year. South was better than advertised with the exception of their run defense which was dismantled tonight. They should also do well this season in conference play.

This one unfolded pretty much like I expected. I was really proud of South's effort. If they could have punched it in before the half or on the first possession of the second half it might have been down to the wire.

 

I think both teams have the potential to improve as the season progresses and make some noise come playoffs. Special teams battle probably went to the Rebels. Vikings punter was excellent on the first directional at 42 yds. with no return, out of bounds. Then for the remainder of the game everything was shanked. I was so surprised they were that deficient in punt and kick coverage. Need that shored up. South should have made that chip shot FG early and had the one long punt return against them in 2nd half , but otherwise pretty solid.

 

Secondary speed was a liability for the Rebels against a team like Tennessee High. If you stunt the LB out of the play, your team is vulnerable to giving up the home run which happened at least once last night, perhaps more.

 

Vikings need to keep working on the passing game to get a little balance. I would have come back to the same play or similar play that was overthrown in back of endzone for TD when backed up with more field to use shortly after missing it the first time. South showed a pretty good passing game developing with QB snapping off some good throws in the 20 yd. range. I'd like to see them keep developing the big TE #10 in the passing game.

 

Good luck to the Vikings on a successful season. Go Rebels!
