“Smith County is very multiple. They have an identity of what they want to do and they have a couple of different ways they can go to that. Its up to us to stop what they like doing best to make them try to do something else. They do have a lot of different things and weapons on offense they can use. The ability to throw it. The ability to have a quarterback run game. The ability to run power football at you. They have a good screen game. A good roll out game. You have to really be on your p’s and q’s on the defensive side. As far as them defensively, its a little bit smaller defense than what we have faced but they are very speedy and athletic. Its a scheme that changes from formation to formation. It’s a big challenge but that is what we like. It just makes for a better moment when we get out there and play our type of football and have a chance to win it in the end,” said Coach Tiger Coach Steve Trapp.
