SHillBuckeye Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 23 minutes ago, BlackFlag93 said: Gilmer by 4 TD's the offense is very high powered, and defense has a new attitude. I just don't think this will be the case. I think the first game is the toughest to try and predict simply because there are so many uncertains. In this game, two questions really stick out to me. 1. Gilmer's QB. I think this brings a different look to the offense. I don't look for him to run very much, which could be a problem trying to avoid sacks, etc. Gilmer does have that big OL this year, so I look for them to run the ball behind them a bit more, especially in this game, just to try and get the new QB more comfortable. 2. Both team's defenses. With how bad Gilmer's defense played last year, especially the secondary, I think they are very much improved this year. They DO have two D1 prospects at CB & Safety. Atlanta will do what Atlanta does best, and that's run the ball. If Gilmer's defense can slow down that run game (I don't think they will stop it entirely), that will put more pressure on the ATL D, by then, Gilmer will have opened the passing game a bit more against that young ATL secondary. I think it will be close until the 4th, and Gilmer will pull it out at the end. Also, can't forget about a few trick plays and at least one onside kick from the Buckeyes. Always expect it, it's going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye QB don't have to win the game by himself. Just keep handing off to #7. However, if the Buckeye QB turns the ball over ... game on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't be the later because the Rabbits have a 4A mindset, having been in 4A many years, and it can't be about getting hyped, because it is Gilmer. Everyone gets hyped about playing the Buckeyes, especially if they have a long standing rivalry with them. Heat might definitely be an issue, but it will be an issue for both teams. Neither. By playing up and mean up in classification. Not because of the hype, but because of the numbers. I've seen Gilmer beat smaller schools more talented than them because of the simple math. Gilmer interchanges 13-16 kids on offense, and 13-18 kids on defense. Almost nobody goes both ways (WRs and CBs will play on both sides of the ball, but with a lot of breaks and rest time). Meanwhile, smaller schools are playing 4-7 kids both ways, and don't have the depth in numbers to interchange players. Yes, heat will be an issue for both teams, but it will be a bigger issue for the team that has to play more players both ways and has less depth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree with you about the numbers, but I would have to know exactly how different the numbers are this year compared to last year. Seems to me the number difference was pretty significant even last year. In my opinion, I just don't see that being a consideration this year. Maybe in future years if Atlanta continues to lose students and Gilmer continues to gain students. That being said, Atlanta has had issues with getting tired in the 2nd half of games, so you make a great point, not necessarily because of the classification numbers, but because of the Rabbits' past showings. Personally, I just believe if the Rabbits are going to beat Gilmer, it will be this year. I think there are more positives that outweigh the negatives, that give Atlanta a chance to get that victory. I have no dog in the fight, so personally, except for the fact we play Atlanta, I don't care who wins one way or another. Should however be an interesting game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way! Gilmer will not be as good on offense this year! Should be more running this year than last year. Atlantas QB is like grease lightning,, at least he looks quick!
