Will have done in the morning before work....

Sorry, damn hospital work calls in early, but hey memorial day got me off early! soo... let's get it rolling here!

So we got the undefeateds playing for home field of BBB 1, drezplace's Black Knights against Legend's Gators! The Knights have had a pretty dominate season so far with all their wins being double digit victories! These guys have been getting the job done all season long.... but here is the problem: so have the Gators, but with one nail biter. can drezplac and his GM's use that game the Gators had against the Feeble minds to help them in this match-up? None the less here is our GOTW in the East! http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=974&team2=87

Let's break these two down, from top to bottom....

Covington Black Knights first off, everyone knows this.... their running game, it is the best in the league. Averaging more than 420 yards a game!. Now that that's out of the way let's dig this shit deeper... The Black Knights may have such a great rushing attack because of thier pancake producing O-line, those hog molly's up front have been knocking dudes down all season long and will be tested today with the Gators and that stout run D. None the less the O-line has yet to get the spot light for their accomplishments... well there it is, bask in it... ok you're done! One thing I think the Knights may want to turn to in this game is their QB T. Riddell, he has had an outstanding season throwing 41 TDs and only 5 INT's, not too bad of numbers there. And to be honest the Knights passing game is non-existant, even with those numbers ranked only 26th in the league. I think they need to incorparate a passing game today if they want to get by the Mighty Gators! Last but still something that sticks out to me and the Knights could use it to their advantage, that is their ability to force fumbles. They have forced 45 fumbles this season, but the only bad thing is they have only recovered 29.... get that number up this game and it could have a big effect on the outcome! With all this said, the drezplace's Knights have all the tools to get the job done, it's just up to his GM's to get the right game plan rolling!

Lowcountry Gators Legend has pieced together a fine team here, His D is killer and GLB usually leans towards teams that are offensively sound... Well I am glad to finally see another team that wins by defense in this place! The Gators are just plain nasty at the rush D, they only allow a league leading -4.7 yes that is a negative sign ladies and on top of that have only allowed 2 rushing TDs this season! hmm, I don't know what else to call that but nasty.... this could be key in todays game, as this may force the Knights to throw the ball in which we have not seen that much of it this season, but that does not mean that they can't! The Gators Pass D is not nearly as good as that rush D, but it is not exactly a push over being ranked 7th, but helping that stat is the ability of the Gators to get sacks on the QB, they have a league high 67 sacks!. Forcing Fumbles, the Gators are right there with the Knights, but the Gators have been able to recover and return more fumbles for TD's this season... will this be a factor in todays game?

my evalutation
Rushing: Knights
Passing: Push
Run D: Gators
Pass D: slight edge goes to... Gators
Special Teams: Knights

My Predicitions:
Legend has not said a whole lot this season and he has not needed to, his team has done its talking on the field and Drezplace has done the same. both good guys to play with/against and have the upmost respect for them... but guess what, one of you gotta lose today... This will be a smash mouth game I think with a narrow margin victory for... we'll get to that! None the less the Gators will come in with that 2nd overall D and look to clam the number 1 seed for BBB 1, but Drew Ronnie and company will not let this happen without a fight! GM's of the Knights this is your chance to have me put my foot in my mouth with my rankings... so get it done then.

I don't like going against Drezplace, but here it is gents.
Lowcountry Gators 32 Covington Black Knights 26
GL to both teams!

idk about that, drez will have his team ready to play. It's too close to call for me, I bet the final margin is >6 points. I've been looking forward to this game for some time now.

Ya it's a tough call as I have been a fan of HB Romine all year and yes Drez will have a game plan ready to go ... no doubt about it. However, Gators put up a well balanced attack and combine running with passing nicely. I'm not so sure this is going to be as close as 6 points I think Gators may win by 14 or more and run away with the playoffs too...

Sorry Drez you know I'm a huge fan

What Mattyk?!?! I can't beleave you! just messing with you.

Gator's have a great team no doubt. Like I said before, its going to be a up hill battle for us because there are a lot of factors in this game that is not in our favor. However, to be the best you have to beat the best. King and I have put together the best game plan we could come up with against the Gators great defense and offense. In a couple of hours we will see how things work out with the game plans.

Josh, Damn good write up! dispite you going against the Knight , I love the write up. You should think about being a sports writer. Again good luck to Legend and his team(not to much, as if you really need it). We have an hour to go before game time.

GL to you in the playoffs, things look pretty cut and dry over there in the east, I hope we the Birds make it far enough to get a crack at someone in the east, either you or the Gators! None the less good play today gents!

Thanks Josh, good luck to the Birds and the rest of the west.

I glad the game lived up to the hype. It was a battle today and both teams gave each our everything and left it all on the field. Great job to both kickers who was money today as well.

Great game. That has to be the best season finale I've seen on GLB.

my hat goes off to chops he said it would be under 6 points difference. Easily the game of the year and possibly the real BBB#1 final.
