If QB2 has a good game, East will win by a mile.

Nobody is winning this one by a mile. Two really good teams playing good ball right now. 
 

After 2 garbage rounds, this matchup should be what makes high school playoffs great.

I agree their offense is vanilla, OC does not know how use his talent. But the HC wants to run a Beech offense. If can't block them, you better hold-em. 

100%

In the first meeting the OC play calling during the second half was way too predictable. IMHO, besides the penalties, biggest reason ER got beat.

nobody has scored on smith co starters since the Baxter game. 

that says A LOT about the Owls. D is Pride and “want to.” The D takes it personal “nobody’s scoring”

Smith is good. ER had a chance to beat them earlier and the season. Both teams played very sloppy. 2nd half ER tonight has a chance vs Smith. 1st half ER does not.

That is EXACTLY the same thought I had watching the Marion game.

Smith won’t score 35 on ER. They are the favorites to win but won’t score 35.

what’s the most points ER has given up this year?

21 against White House Heritage

ER won 49-21 so some of those points could have been late against the 2nd teamers

The Marion game is the only one I have seen for ER. ER’s OC put two HBacks in the A gaps and gave the ball to Groves to pick his holes/seams.  The OLine size/strength and Groves’ power  wore down Marion’s D.
 

 That’s an affective O if you can do it. The O team controls the clock, holds the ball, scores and the opposing team has little time to score. From what @hoggtown reported SC D will be A LOT stouter than what Marion put on the field.  This game maybe punting and field position.  Johnny Majors is already popping the corn,  it’s his type of “slobber knocker game”

The offense play-calling at the end of the regular season was maybe more creative than it was last night – a lot of toss plays that set up fake counters and opened up the passing the game.

We do dn’t really see any of that last night, but didn’t quite need to. They did experiment with some Elijah Groves packages early, but abandoned them.

SC front 7 are A LOT better than Marion’s were last night. They’ve got a d-tackle that’s a game changer and good LB’s. That’s what I was referring to on play calling. Basically ran the same 3-4 run plays in the second half of the first meeting against SC and they shut it down.

i don’t know if smith can hold er running game all night like they did the last time we played but i don’t see them driving the ball 70 yards to many times. maybe bust a big play. the first time we played if we would have done a fake punt ( not called by coaches) er would not have scored at all. it gave them a short field. they scored on a hb pass.

Gave up 20 to Liberty Creek I think. Liberty scored the same amount vs Smith I believe too.

Correct, thought it was liberty creek.I’m mistaken.
