Jasper vs. Gilmer Predictions?

Hmm...expectations were high for Jasper going into the Gilmer game last year after the Dawgs looked great in their scrimmages. Gilmer doubled us up 56-28 because the defense couldn't get off the field.

This year, the game looks intriguing because we're going away from the spread and back to old-school option football and the re-emphasis on defense. It's hard to say how long it will take for the offense to be effective, but when it is the defense should be fresher and a lot more effective just because moving the chains on offense eats a lot of clock and shortens the game. That was our bread and butter for a long time...

Will it work against Gilmer? It's probably too big of a test too soon, but it should be a much better game. I'll say Gilmer wins a close one...21-14.

Was Jasper running the spread in their lower levels or just at the varsity level?

[Backflipper]

Gilmer is too loaded. I can see Jasper scoring 14 but I cant see anyone holding Gilmer under 42. So I gotta go with 42-14 Gilmer.

Most schools run the same offense at every level. From what I've read, we're not running the spread anymore. Hopefully that means less turnovers and longer drives.

Just wondering. Silsbee's jv still too alot of snaps from under center last year and had some of old veer plays incorporated into the offense. Do you know what type of rushing attack y'all are going to.

If Jasper goes back to smash-mouth it could be difficult for Gilmer to put up the ridiculous numbers, but,  the 'Dogs have to move the chains.  Good luck to Jasper, looking forward to this one.

I saw an article that mentioned that we were going to the triple option. It's the same thing that Georgia Tech went to last year that gave the ACC fits.

That's my logic in calling for a close game. Jasper's got pretty solid backs, so the key will be the QB Alvis making the right decisions with the ball and the line blocking well.

If the 'Dogs could do well in this one it could blueprint a successful season, their pre-season is not a lethal injection but one of them chairs they plug in, forget what they call 'em.

I like the aggressive scheduling. If they can find a way to get through the first half of the schedule at 3-2, the Dawgs will be in great shape going into district. Carthage is the favorite going in, but Jasper could very well be right there with them if everything comes together.

shut the passing down on gilmer,make them run the football.gilmer did not hurt wo-s on there running game it was there passing game. the mustangs did not put (NO PRESSER)on the QB and that  HURT. the best to you guys in jasper

[JB94]

I'm not quite ready to predict a score until both teams get scrimmages under their belts. I'll revisit in a couple weeks.

too close to call. 

[Hupernikomen]

Great game to show Jasper where they want to be.  Gilmer should win comfortably but hopefully Jasper walks away with some experience that will help them later in the season.

[AggiesAreWe]

Gilmer 42

Jasper 21

I agree.The way to stay in a game against a good offense is to keep the ball away from them for as long as possible.You want keep them from scoring on you but the less points they put up the better chance you have.Of course you have to be able to score points too.

Gilmer, by as many they want

[Guest rykerx144]

Gilmer but by no more than 10.  Which i think would be the same as a victory for Jasper!

[T-daddy]

We will see how good of a coach we got in week 1 he put all his eggs on defense I dont know if jasper will score on gilmer.  but lets wait until after the pre-season to predict this one..

[ChampionEagles]

Gilmer will dominate with a very experienced and successful program. Jasper is still in the throws of new coach, new changes, etc. Don't judge them on the outcome of this game. Gilmer by at least 21.

Gilmer's QB had 495 yards passing in the game scrimmage vs. Atlanta Saturday.
