Oak Ridge - William Blount Scrimmage - 8/2

[ORDT]

Quick topic to discuss the scrimmage this Friday, hosted by William Blount.

Any predictions...knowing that the first half is generally where we'll see the starters?

What time does it start?

You'll get to see one of the best Kickers East Tennessee has to offer and since your so so close you need to stop in at Woody's BP-Grocery at 2921 Morganton Road, Maryville TN 37801 and pick up a bag of their famous hot dogs from the deli and take to the game with you.

I'm looking forward to the this year's version of our Wildcats.  There are still several positions that are up for grabs, especially on defense. So, you should see a lot of guys getting reps. 

 I think the Wildcat nation is going to be very pleased with the running of Kendall Jackson.  Look for the increased use to H-backs and Tight-Ends with Jaxson Adams and Trey Rowe filling those spots.

I hope for some productive work and no injuries.

It looks like rain is going to spoil the fun. Right now there's a 62% chance of thunderstorms at 5 pm tomorrow.

As for WB, if the scrimmage happens, expect to see them experimenting with their secondary. They scrimmaged South Doyle in the spring and the secondary got picked apart.  And when I saw them in 7 on 7 action a few weeks ago, it looked like they still need a lot of work in that area.

UGGHH! Rain. Hopefully it will be like the rain we are getting in Chattanooga...one area 1.4 inches in 1 hour and two miles away no tain.

FightOnForWB, I wouldn't use the spring scrimmage with SD as an indicator as to how your secondary will be. Brang is one of the better QB's in Knox Co. that returns, and he has a lot of good receivers to throw too. Give your boys a little time!

OR can keep it close if they can get pressure on the WB QB....but I see WB starters getting the better of this scrimmage...…When the 2's and 3's go in though it will be tough sledding for WB.

I'm aware that SD is good. However, the secondary is still an area of concern for WB. There's not much experience there.

You will be surprised with Oak Ridge's whole team. Just for fun, remember that last time you saw an Oak Ridge WR catch a TD??? Yep, Tee Higgins putting the final points on the Clemson beatdown of bama. Sorry,.
