[Gridiron Grit]

While both teams are very talented, I think Creek has just a tad bit more talent, due to their passing game. This game comes down to coaching to their teams strengths. Tates Creek has been confused all year in establishing their identity on offense. While Dunbar knows exactly what they have in the Triple Option. Creek so desperately wants to establish a run game, that they neglect their passing attack (in most games this year) to the point that they allow teams to stay in the game until the 3rd quarter (when they decide to start passing the ball). If Creek goes to the air early, they win this game big... If they run the ball (wild cat, etc.) more than they pass it in the first two quarters (as they did against Lafayette), Dunbar will go ahead at half time, and Creek will be hard pressed to get back in the game. I give the edge to Dunbar, based solely on game planning and strategy, their coaching staff will not be experimenting in this game, they will go with what has been working for them all year. However, if Creek comes out throwing, they will win big (but they haven't in most of their games). I will say this... Creek won't be able to "onside kick" their way out of this one, they will have to beat Dunbar on their merits and not trick plays!
