Union can run it and stop the run. Meanwhile, their pass defense and to a lesser extent pass offense leaves a lot to be desired. Overall, it was better than I expected; the one thing that has to be fixed is the inability to hold onto the football. Union had way too many fumbles. I still think they win six or seven games and finish in the top two of the LPD. I look forward to next week and hope that Smith can play, he missed this week with a knee injury which long term may be a good thing as long as he's healthy in the long run. Davis looked good and Barker is Barker, also good to see Orr back playing.

Overall grade from me: C+

For next week, hold onto the ball, improve tackling, and figure out a way to be at least below average on pass defense.

Fine footage as always, btw. I thought that was you in front of me but, I wasn't sure; I'll stop by and say hey next time.

Yeah, feel free and say hey any time! I have to agree with your analysis. Things didn't go their way in this scrimmage, but I look for them to improve and become a solid team later this year. They've got a tough schedule ahead of them, so that's a must.

Since it was a scrimmage they weren't using the scoreboard, but when I left Tennessee High had scored six touchdowns and Union had scored none.

from what l see, Union is going to be deep at the runnign back spot. Barker is a mule and Davis can move, but those two second string boys looked dang tough too (number 76 and 15). Passing needs some work on both d and o but thatll come with time. I dont see anyone blowing them off the field this year not even richlands. The rush D is tougher than i was expecting but the D backs need to stick on recievers a little better. Over all in that performance I'll have to give em a B-

That's not a good sign with everyone that THS lost last year.

Several TD's were scored against the second and third teams who appeared to be getting introduced to the forward pass. Yes, it was really was that bad; it got to the point they were just running streaks down the middle of the field and multiple receivers were open by 10 yards.

Lung, I agree though; you have to do better than that. The only reason I gave them a C+ is because I can never remember winning a scrimmage or even looking good over there, that includes the period from 03-06 when we were actually competitive at the region/state level.
