SHillBuckeye Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Both Vandals and Buckeyes move on to round 3 next week in Tyler @ 2pm. I’m going with the Buckeyes in this one, I simply don’t think Van’s defense will be able to stop Gilmer’s offense. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackShirtD Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 This game will not be as close as people are thinking. Gilmer wins by at least 20. Van is a solid team but the D is very suspect. Bux 42 Van 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the one that spanked PG shows up, then your score prediction is solid. If the undisciplined Bux show up, Van has enough dudes to keep it closer. Over the last 5-7 years, Van has consistently been one of the most disciplined teams in East Texas. They consistently play good football. Not always flashy, but they are fundamentally sound. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandalman Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 I'm a realist. Other than one close game, Van has not fared well against Gilmer in the past few years. Gilmer is explosive and athletic. I don't expect anyone to give us much of a chance. This is not a good matchup for the Vandals. To have a chance, Van will have to pull out all the stops, create turnovers, make zero mistakes and capitalize on Gilmer's. Van has great coaches that seem to get more out of these kids than you would think possible, year after year. This year is no exception and is truly a good team with some athletes. These guys have enough grit to make it happen and I believe they can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Legacy wins today we'll be heading to Waco next Saturday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innocent Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Van’s defense is definitely suspect. The secondary is the weakest part of the whole team, which is obviously not a good thing against Gilmer, but the Run D is super solid. The offense is truly rather explosive. Jackson Rainey is just an absolute X-Factor, they seem to be more Run-Heavy as of late in these playoffs, but our passing game is extremely efficient. For the most part, Van seems to be able to move the ball at will. I’m going to take Van in a close one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cujo2016 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Van play’s some of soundest football you will ever see. If Gilmer QB is on, then I got to go with the Buckeyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Van will be able to pass some if given time, but don’t believe they will be able to run much. Tennison will pick the Van secondary apart. Gilmer will win, but by how much depends on discipline and turnovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
