[Red and Black]

this thread has turned into a GREAT discussion, IMO special teams could be a HUGE factor in this game, SC is a young team and young teams are almost always weaker on special teams. Because growing up everybody dreams about being a RB or a QB; not a gunner or a long snapper. Therefore nobody grows up realizing the importance of special teams. But if coach hager keeps his special teams sharp and doesnt let maynard get the ball on returns then it would be a big advantage for SC.


For belfry they must keep SC's defense on the field as long as possible and try to jump out to an early lead (say 14-0) in order to weaken SC defensively and try to cripple the momentum SC has coming off of a close game vs Leslie. Belfry's FB needs to have a big game up the middle in order to open up C gap for Maynard and the other RB (sorry but i forgot his name).
