Alcoa vs Blackman

[pepvol]

I think Alcoa wins as long as Rankin goes into the game with the same mindset as if it's a Maryville Game ... open things up and spread it around . Can't get conservative against a team full of athletes .

True but it's hard to replace the kind of talent they lost in one offseason

Yes, They lost Trey Knox to Arkansas, But, return 2 very skilled players, Dajeun Gibson, three star safety, Malachi Burns, three star WR, 

Two D1/D2 OLB's in Keionte Newson & Conner Murphy.

....And, a returning QB, Drew Beam that threw for 1450 yards last season as a soph.

They have talent, Atleast on paper..........

You're right, but sometimes in the tight games the offense gets very conservative.......??? 

Alcoa can be very explosive on Offense if they spread the ball around and especially decide to use the middle of the field for more than running plays..........

Blackman is never gonna lack for talent, especially on offense, but they run into trouble once against teams with a solid defense, as evidenced by their game with MJ. Newsome will play WR and I expect Murphy to see alot of snaps at TB

Middle of the field behind the linebackers is the “no fly zone”.... cept for maybe four plays last year, and they all went for long TD. (2 against Murvil)

Walker Russell was one of the best QBs I’ve ever seen at Alcoa . I know Alcoa won all of them last year but not taking advantage of having such a great Qb made some games a lot closer than they needed to be ... including the State Championship Game

The offense went almost completely away from throwing the ball around against Upperman. Russell ran the ball right down the center of the field. His play carried the team to the Championship game. The offense looked totally different from Maryville game to late in season?

Sam Vaulton is also going to be very good. Runs with ball well when needed.

The Freshmen QB has the looks to be SPECIAL!
