Dinwiddie vs Salem

[MaroonDude]

What is the talk? Is Salem Back? Dinwiddie Young? Injuries? Stand out new players? Too bad they aren't playing JV!

we talked too much ab Salem on va preps so there’s no Salem talk on this board anymore

 

[MaroonDude]

What about the Navy Nation?

Always a battle between two top notch programs. I think it will be a high scoring game. Whoever can limit the other team’s running game wins. I know Dinwiddie feels like they missed out on some opportunities this past Friday.

Bro, it was 42-rock last year. Not much of a battle last year.

Dinwiddie returns 1 starter on offense and only 4 on defense. Historically Coach Mills doesn’t play a lot of freshman, but there’s at least 5 starting across the board. I think this year’s matchup will be very close and can truly go either way. Both teams are very very good.

Sounds like Salem's team last year. They had a lot of young ones play and two rookie QBs after an injury.

As a Spartan fan, it would be nice to see Salem finally win one of these regular season marquee matchups. Since 2017, Salem’s 0-8 against Dinwiddie (0-3), Martinsburg (0-3), and LCA (0-2).

Through the first three weeks of the regular season, both the Spartans and Generals have played the same three opponents they played last year. Salem is averaging a +45 point per game difference in final score margin over last season; Dinwiddie is averaging -19 in that same measure. That might be an indication that Salem should be able to make this game much more competitive than last year’s. Whether or not that means a Spartan victory, I don’t know. I think it will be a pretty evenly matched affair, possibly high-scoring.
