The time has come for the game of season in 1a, the importance of this game is huge it could mean a changing of the guard in NND for years to come. The NND by a country mile is the best in 1a and many may argue the most competitive from top to bottom in the Commonwealth.
On Friday Night October 5 some truths will be settled, a victory for Northumberland will change this programs mentality for years to come, the supporters have already brought all in. To win this game Northumberland must be ready to hit Essex in the mouth early with defensive football and shake the soft moniker. On offense they must show they can run between the tackles before attacking the outside, the weakness of Essex are the LB's, Essex will protect them by insuring outside runs are covered and Mr. Palmer is accounted for on every possession. I wouldn't be shocked to see Palmer at the slot for quick hitches and bubble screens this would create nightmares for Trojans.
Essex should be p*ssed off to the point to show doubters that they are still the Kings of the NND.
