TheBlueprint Posted November 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 If 5 can go for us, I just don’t see Clay being able to beat Gordonsville twice. Gville has been battle tested a lot this year and had to battle the injury bug at times and still have made it this far and have a lot of momentum after beating SP last night. It will be another good football came but I look for us to win by 2 scores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This group of Bulldogs have never lost to Gordonsville at home and they don't plan on ending their careers doing so. I predict a Bulldog victory, 21-14 on a late touchdown run by either Joseph Marcom or Keaton Arms. I certainly echo Boarhog's statement. Hope #5 is back 100% for the Tigers on Friday night.

TheBlueprint Posted November 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 What did y’all do on offense last time we met other than hit on 3 trick plays? We flat out beat ourselves with an atrocious 3rd quarter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
croz6110 Posted November 13, 2022 Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 I said after our last matchup that I felt good about a rematch. Being healthy was a major part of that assertion. If #5 can't go, I still think we can win, but I'd feel better if he can play. We got over a major hump last night. As long as there isn't a letdown, I still feel good.

Boarhog Posted November 13, 2022 Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 First cold game of the year coming Friday. Gonna be about 31 degrees at kickoff I reckon. Obviously this is a factor that’s the same for both teams. I don’t know whether or not the cooler temps will have any effect on either squad or not.

We flat out beat ourselves with an atrocious 3rd quarter As I recall y’all extended a drive via a fake punt yourselves. That’s as much a trick as any play we ran. A play ain’t a trick play if it’s something you practice and run. If it’s drawn up in the dirt during a timeout I guess it’s a trick play then. How many big games, at all levels, over the years have been won by a gutsy call though? Several. You do what you’ve gotta do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boarhog Posted November 13, 2022 Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 One thing that needs to change this time around for another Clay victory is a better run game. I was very impressed with the Tiger defensive front. They held our power runners to 79 yards on 27 carries. That’s good defense. The Dawgs need to improve in that area this time around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell you what, if y’all can dial up 3 trick plays and connect on all 3 of them again and beat us. I’ll tip my cap to you and wish you the best of luck in Chattanooga. But I don’t see that happening and I also don’t see you all beating us by lining it up and coming right at us. We gave you all 2 touchdowns last go around because of our mistakes and the other 2 were on gimmick trick plays. I wouldn’t say you all beat us last time.

We beat ourselves What were the gimmick trick plays? Maybe I wasn’t at the same game? And as far as the “we beat ourselves” goes I could easily say we had blowed coverages on y’all’s 2 TD passes and that we should’ve easily won 35-7, instead of 27-20. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We beat ourselves Only one of Gordy's turnovers resulted in a touchdown, which I wouldn't call a giveaway, but a great play to read the screen and step in front of it. The other two resulted in punts. What other touchdown was a giveaway by the Tigers in your opinion?

When you intentionally try to locate the punt near the sideline, a shank is inevitable, and is still likely better than letting our returner have a chance to run one back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
