blackflag79 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 To be perfectly honest, Van "should've" beaten us last year. I don't know if Van has improved, are about the same, or a little less than what they were last year. I do know that the Buckeyes are better than last season on both sides of the ball. Our secondary will certainly be tested in this one. There was one blown assignment in our secondary that I saw all game. There were two other times where the receivers were open when the ball was thrown, but our DB made up a lot of ground and timed it just right to jar the ball loose. Of course, Atlanta is not as efficient in the passing game as Van. I look for Van to try and get off quick passes to offset the pressure of our D-line. This game should be a good one, in my opinion. I give a slight edge to the Buckeyes for the win, but wouldn't be surprised either way. A blowout would most certainly surprise me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen their film they aren’t as good as last yr in my opinion Van is top 15 4A D1 team and with one or two wins could be a top 10 team. I would plan on a close game or your second half won’t be very enjoyable from the stress levels. This one is a 6 point game either way. Will likely come down to the last possession. Van will kick the FG this year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minevan88 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I was hoping for some cooler weather, but the forecast has Friday around 100 for the high. If both teams stay hydrated it will be a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have plenty of room for improvement. That's all I'm saying. Atlanta was not that impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAN72 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Van has almost their whole team back this year. They have a total of 29 seniors. 8 returning starters on defense and 8 returning starters on offense. I believe Van will pull this one out. Van's defense is pretty solid. The films you are watching is mostly Vans second team defense. Their starters have hardly played this year. I believe Van will surprise everyone. I pick Van by 17. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
