Well there is now😀SMH surprises me. Arguably two top 2D teams battling it out tomorrow in Big Stone.
Who wins?
If Graham can fix the penalties and the offense can work out the kinks, I think they have a good shot at the regional championship game and an equally good shot to win. If they play Union again, it’s tough to beat a quality opponent twice in the same season.Good, physical game from both teams. Penalties hurt Graham and took away a few good plays. Penalties also hurt Union and put them in some tough holes to try to dig out of
Great game between 2 solid teams. Graham's defense is Radford offense 2023 type good/dominant. It is tough to beat a quality opponent twice in one season, but it's also tough to beat an elite opponent once in a season. Be surprised if these 2 don't play again and I would be surprised if Union and Graham lose another game from now through December to a team not named Graham or Union.If Graham can fix the penalties and the offense can work out the kinks, I think they have a good shot at the regional championship game and an equally good shot to win.

Not to sound too much like a Homer, but the ceiling for Graham is much higher then what they have shown so far. Maybe not defensively, they've performed extremely well on the defensive side of the ball. The offense is still a work in progress, but I think they stumbled onto a few things that worked well in the 2nd half of that game. The offense will only get better as the season goes on. Gage Palmer is still learning at running back, but he was running harder and lower to the ground during the Union game. I think they found themselves a running back. Also, the 2 QB system will gel a little bit more once they figure out the best situations for each QB to be in the game. Last couple of seasons, the defense developed as the season went on. This year, it's the offense's turn. Not as much depth on the line this year, but the starters are pretty dang good. They have a ton of speed and talent at the skill positions, just got to get the offense clicking. Not a good flow to their offense yet, but it's getting there.Great game between 2 solid teams.
