Having not seen Russell play this year, but hearing what others have said about them, I expect the Red Devils to try and catch the Pirate secondary some on 1st and 2nd down. They can't be asleep back there or overly anticipating the run.

McGlone is going to hunt-stunt the A-gap all night long, and will probably fire the C-gap to the strong side on every down, too. Andrew will have to be able to make checks at the line of scrimmage if Coach Haywood allows it to compensate for Russell's aggressiveness, as well as complete a handful of play-action passes.

Controlling the line of scrimmage for Belfry on the offensive side of the ball will require more communication up front from the Pirates this week, and its something that may take a quarter or two to figure out.

Defensively, the LBs must make plays and follow their keys. DTs have to hold their ground and the line of scrimmage must be pushed back into the Russell backfield for us to stop their run game.

Good stuff man. I think you are dead on with your analysis.
