i have thought about this game all week and this is what i think about it. SC's strength is running the ball up the gut. they are very strong up front but their backs dont have the best of speed so you dont have to worry about them breaking out to the outside if you have quick corners. also they go to shotgun when they think they can expose you through the air. most of the time its 5 wide ever once in a while they will stick a halfback in the backfield and and run trips on one side. the key to defending their shotgun is bringing the heat. their o line is really strong but not smart at all. show 7 or 8 blitzing and bring 6 and drop everybody else back and i promise you will give sc qb and their o line fits. sc has had tons of holding calls when they drop back in shotgun and their qb is ok when he gets time to throw and the d only rushes 3 or 4 but when you get heat on him he makes bad decisons. not so much throwing picks but he stops looking down field and just trys to find a way to get out of the pocket and not get hit. his not fast but he is strong so wrap him up but all of sc players that will have the ball in their hands are strong so you have to wrap up. cody slone #12 is very good on d. if you make a mistake and throw a bad pass to him he will make you pay buy getting a pick. he is also one of their best WR. if russell does these things they will win and it will be like the belfry game because when sc gets down they lose their cool specially some of the vets on the team and try to fight and forget their in a football game. if russell dosnt expose the weakness of sc which is most of what i wrote then sc will win by a couple of td's. the key to beating sc is playing your game not theres because once you get them out of their gameplan its over.
goodluck to both and may the best team win..... :rockon:
