Turner has watched film of GC/Burton and Burton/Clintwood. He has seen Burton's weakness and will exploit it. Burton will still make it a dog fight though.

He will have to open the playbook up to beat Burton. Simple runs up the middle will not get it done. No matter how "improved" Appy is. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
Runs up the middle seemed to work pretty good for Clintwood and GC. I know you all shut us out but that was mostly our own fault not being able to hold onto the ball. I think Kenny rushed for 120+ and was in the redzone numerous times. Didnt Parks rush for 200+ against you all? Its been 12 weeks since you all have played, a whole lot has changed.
Yeah alot has changed. Clintwood never made it to the playoffs and GC is already out. Lets wait until Saturday to see who the best team is.
Well that doesn't change previous facts and numbers. It was a weakness and thats what was said, geeesh. Don't go all GC on it and act like weaknesses that were exploited at times don't exist just because others are out. I mean with that logic, since Miami beat Va. Tech but now since it looks like Va. Tech will win that division of the ACC, the things that Miami exploited don't exist. Guess what, they still do and instead of closing your eyes and putting your fingers in your ears and saying no no no you didn't win ha ha ha, you would probably have just been as well to say yeah it was a problem area but changes have been made and left it at that.
trust me, Appy wont put up over 150 yds rushing against Burton
This will be a really close game, but Appy just dont have what it takes to beat the Raiders...yea the Raiders may have gotten a lil' worse in as the season has dwelled down to the end..but in Regions and stuff everyone comes ready to play!
Bottom line this is going to be a hell of a game. Whoever comes out on top, will represent Region D and LPD very well.
game being played at UVAWise turf has to be nortons advantage.
In the playoffs it doesn't matter if you've won 10 games or lost 10 games, it's all about which team shows up on Saturday. You can throw records, trophies, your Aunt Sue out the window, none of it matters come Appy/Burton week. It's been 13 years since I suited up against Appy and I can still tell you what it felt like to play them. We didn't like them, they didn't like us, and it was a hard fought game.
I don't have a prediction on this game, because I saw Norton play twice and didn't see Appy at all.
The holes in the defense are still going to be there for Burton, but I think the hangover from the GC game has gone, and they showed that last weekend.
