The big question I have for this game is how much Marysville will feature Gabe Powers on offense? And will that hurt him rushing the passer if he has to get 20+ carries?
Personally, I’m not convinced the Wing T is going to work against Springfield. They have two 280-lb FBS defensive tackles, so running in the middle will be tough and holding the blocks on the misdirection will be even tougher. Springfield is also very fast on the back end, so running wide is difficult as well. You have to be able to spread Springfield out, hitting on the quick passing game and taking some deep shots, and that is very much not how Marysville is built.
Gabe Powers is awesome though. I wonder how Ohio State is going to use him. 6-5 players shouldn’t be able to run like he can. He could play LB or DE or even a TE similar to Michael Mayer at Norte Dame. He’s that talented.
