Lion7000 Posted October 28, 2024 Posted October 28, 2024 Such a unrated type game. Give me Center. This has potential to be a great game!

PantherNation2015 Posted October 28, 2024 Posted October 28, 2024 I don’t know why, but I’m going to trust Coach Surratt's assessment of the Athens QB. LOL. I would call it a draw comparing the two offenses. Both are explosive. I give Athens the slight nod on defense. I’ll take Athens in a very competitive game. Something like 30-27.
cotton84 Posted October 28, 2024 Posted October 28, 2024 Athens and Van in a first round matchup would be a good one.

I wish we could get a scheduled game between Center and Hendo next season, 7-63 doesn’t sit right with my heart as the last score of the last game 1

Beats playing Gainesville

Lefthivein95 Posted October 29, 2024 Posted October 29, 2024 Huge game for East Texas! Will highlight several talented players on both sides. Athens is playing good ball. Will be the best backend defense Center has seen this year. Center will have to be successful running the ball to have a chance. The “street ball” passing game of the Roughriders will be challenged. Just ask Waco Connally.

iRockNewbzz Posted October 29, 2024 Posted October 29, 2024 I don't know how Athens defense fares, but if the Center OL is still healthy....Again, I've said it since we played 'em but them guys are some DAWGS! If Athens DL doesn't like physicality, they won't like this game for sure. IF their up to the challenge, this could be a very close game.

For a team that relies on the long passing game, I think this presents a real challenge for Center. Force them to run the ball and #12 and #15 will be shutting that down. Athens is very good at keeping the edge and forcing to the middle.

They match up well to Center O also. I think it will be a really close game with Athens pulling away in the end.

bansheefan03 Posted October 30, 2024 Posted October 30, 2024 From what carthage was able to do against both I would say athens defense is a good bit better then centers 1
