If Salem has an offense they will score at will on JF.
It seems JF would have a better chance of stopping a fart with a fishing net than a decent offense this year.

This is the best game of the 1st round in Class 4A for me. I think JF will be able to out-score Salem.
Salem brought up several JV players from the undefeated JV team. I think that could be the x factor.
Salem does not usually get into a shootout. Ball control and a good defense usually prevents this. Salem front seven as good as anyone JF has played. There is talent in the secondary but very young, three sophomores and a freshman.
In Salems three losses they gave up 27 to Dinwiddie, 35 Northside, 24 Blacksburg
Offensively Salem scored 20 vs Dinwiddie, 27 against Northside, 21 against Blacksburg.

I'd be surprised at that. Coach at Salem is top-notch. I would think if any current JV players were better than any varsity starters he would have already had them in there. Maybe not.
He said Salem GW game from last year, the score was 42-13.
I guess you were talking about Salem Pulaski game from last week, where the score was actually 21-10.
What would worry me is GW only beating Halifax 15 to 6 and that was with a Pick 6 at the end of the game.
Sure, I mostly just meant in the spread between the two. I haven’t done the math I’m just assuming Salem has a higher spread on PF vs PA.
Poor wording on my end with that first post
I was referring to BB 21 Pulaski 14
Because you live in that area and think that you guys have the best teams in the state every year is not correct! Yes Salem did demolish GW last year! Which the statement was made that this game would be like that and I have a different opinion and that JF has a better team! You seem to only want to respond when I say things on here! I get it! I know what I said about Salem in the beginning of the season out in the 1st Rd! Just my opinion.
You are welcome to your opinion I just didn't know what score you were referring to. I respond to a lot of people I have thousands of posts they aren't all towards you. Good luck on Friday.
@mike salem its just smack talk don’t take it personal!! I’m just glad we didn’t have to go into Salem Stadium 1st rd
The JF /Salem game will be decided by the two defenses. That's right the defenses. Can the young Salem secondary come up and help stop the run and at the same time react to play action and cover? Can JF even begin to stop Salem's power running game? They must put Salem in third and five or more situations. Turnovers and penalties will be huge. If Salem is able to hit a few play action passes that will loosen up the JF defense which will have 8 or 9 in the box. Salem wants to play this game in a phone booth. JF wants to gash Salem with big plays. Should be good game
The only positive I see out of it is that so far this season JF has struggled big time defensively against the spread - even if it is largely a running offense. They’ve done much better defensively against power running/pro style offenses. Still, not the caliber of Salem.
Salem will only go spread if it third and long or needed at end of half or game. More likely to see double tight
It hasn’t been effective at all this year. This is the least I have seen them use it since coach White was coaching.
If u meant that only in a competitive fashion then my bad ......i thought u were saying something about refs or something so many people say neagtive things about salem
That’s just how it goes when you’re traditionally the powerhouse, there will always be haters.
