When Hoover has the ball...
Lundy needs a big game in the passing area, but the Bucs need to have balance to keep the Warriors pass rush from making hits on Lundy. Hoover will need to have big games from Pauley, Taylor or Porter at running back along with Hamilton and Thomas at receiver. The Bucs had a hard time getting Thomas in the offense in the last game against Thompson. The Bucs do a good job of spreading the ball around and they will need to do that to knock off Thompson. 

When Thompson has the ball...
Thompson likes to throw the ball and get the football to their playmakers. JB Mitchell, Ryan Peppins, Tre Roberson and Sam Reynolds can make the big play at anytime on the field. They can turn a short pass for a long touchdown catch and run or go deep on any play. Peppins is coming off a big game against Hewitt-Trussville last week. After Thompson gets the lead, the ball goes into Jarrett Crockett hands for carries to run out the clock. Crockett can catch the ball out of the backfield so he is a weapon in the passing game. The big four receivers have been to much for opposing defenses all season long and will be difficult for the Bucs defense to contain them this game.
