Smith's D is at a different level. Highland Springs only scored 13 points (their lowest point total all year) and their Winning TD may have been the worst call of the whole year. No other team scored 16 points until the playoffs (Landstown & C.Forge). This a Defense which averaged only 8.2 points per game and no RB gained over 100 yds.
Their Offense features an RPO QB with over 41 TD passes yet has no 1 receiver within the top receiving ratings in the 757 area! Last week it was mentioned that R. Copeland was a decoy which C. Forge should be careful keying too much upon. Well, they did!! AND, it caused them to give up 2 TDs. The halfback pass was executed perfectly because the whole defense was stupid enough to think he was running an unprotected pitch sweep and let the FB run unabated to catch that pass... The scramble pass worked perfectly again because the LB & corner crept up on Copeland as he made his way into the flats. The slot receiver easily made his way past the safety in his crossing pattern. Without any deep support, it was an easy TD!
Coach Scott has brought his Bishop Sullivan staff to Chesapeake. The is the staff that developed a game plan which nearly upset IMG Academy 2 yrs ago!!! They haven't fully opened up the playbook all year and they have not used their secret weapon in the playoffs. That Kid has comparable skills to R. Copeland, too. I expect to see some dual QB sets and South County won't be able to stop either!!!
You have been warned!!! BTW this team is very young & will lose inly about 6 seniors. So, look for some repeat years coming down the line!!!!
